rpm includes help
ok, i'm not very into the rpm command. i just need a little help here. i'm trying to install a package. namely ifstat. it says there are failed dependencies, but when i do a whereis [package] they're all there. how does the rpm command search for these packages and is there a ways to include these (when i know the correct location) packages when i issue the command?

if those pkgs are not installed but just sitting there as rpms you'll need to:
rpm pkg_1.rpm pkg_.rpm ...etc
list 'em all and then hit enter. as root of course.

run:
#rpm updatedb
Check to see then with:
#rpm -qa |grep package_name #EDIT: DO NOT put the .rpm extention on the pkg name and use the wild card '*' after the pkg name like
#rpm -qa|grep gnome*
post back with results.
