I am trying to get SpamAssassin tools installed:


[root@mail qmailrocks]# rpm -ivh spamassassin-3.0.1-1.i386.rpm

[root@mail qmailrocks]# rpm -ivh spamassassin-tools-3.0.1-1.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:

RPM gives failed dependencies but when I try to get them from cpan it says they are all up to date.

Any ideas?

perhaps rpm isn't aware of what gets installed without using rpm... i'm not sure...

if that's the case, try using the --nodeps and/or --force options when installing the rpm...

just my two cents...
