Need to Know how to intall 2 RPMs at once
 

first of all i'm running mdk10 community with kernel 2.6

okay im trying to install kxdocker using a rpm i found(i tried to complie the program but it failed)
i used the standard intall using the standard "rpm -i kxdocker-0.22-1nts.i586.rpm". it told me i needed to fullfill its dependcy by installing kxdocker-resources-0.6-1nts.noarch.rpm. So i ran the command "rpm -i kxdocker-resources-0.6-1nts.noarch.rpm". and it told me i need to install kxdocker-0.22-1nts.i586.rpm to meets the dependecy of kxdocker-resources-0.6-1nts.noarch.rpm.

So i cant seem to install file a without file b and file b without a.
:scratch:

my question is: is it possible to install 2 rpms at once and could u give me the code.

thanks and advance

try putting them on one line:

rpm -i kxdocker-0.22-1nts.i586.rpm kxdocker-resources-0.6-1nts.noarch.rpm

if that didn't work for you, you could also try the following..........

i'd do the "resources" package first, then the main package. it's sorta self explanatory, but those switches tell the rpm to force the install without dependant packages. you might also want to use rpm -ivh for more info during the install read man rpm for other options you can use.

otis

Yep. I'd try:

rpm -i kxdocker*

and if that don't work try

rpm -i --nodeps kxdocker*

I would not use rpm --force. This may hose your system but good. I would use urpmi ./(name of rpm package)
This would load the program and it's dependences

or just rpm -ivh *.rpm
