Hi Ian,

On Tuesday, December 04, 2001, 11:46:40 PM, you babbled something about:

ID> I installed perl from source, not from and rpm and now any time I install 
ID> anything that depends on perl it says
ID> error failed dependancies:
ID> /usr/bin/perl is needed by whatever.rpm

ID> I do have a /usr/bin/perl and it does work, and if I install the rpm with --nodeps 
ID> it installs and it works.

ID> How do I tell the rpm database that I have a /usr/bin/perl??

You could get a recent version of perl (rpm) and do a...

rpm -ivh --justdb perl.whatever.rpm

Untested, but should solve most of your problems.

Have fun,
