This is what I get when I try to install the up2date rpm from red hat network.
As you can see below both are dependent on each other, but neither will install with out the other one. How do I get around this?
Any help would be apprecieated.

You must be root in order to install rpm packages. Just su to root and do:

rpm -Uvh *.rpm

you need to be root to install them, as for "circular" deps. just put both filenames on the same rpm comand

either force one with blah.blah.rpm --force --no-deps or put both in a directory by themselves and do a rpm -ivh *.rpm

wow, everybody jumped on this one

jumped? that took you 11 minutes.... more of a crawl....!

Get apt4rpm and Synaptic. You'll be glad you did.
