Many of the dependencies in the list you posted are packages. For example: > python >= 1.5.2 is needed by rhn_register-2.7.2-7.x.8 You need to install a python package greater than version 1.5.2 However, others are locking for specific libraries, like: > poptmodule.so is needed by up2date-2.7.11-7.x.2 This is where rpmdb-redhat comes in handy. On a Red Hat Linux 7.2 machine I have the following rpm installed: $ rpm -q rpmdb-redhat rpmdb-redhat-7.2-0.20010924 This allows you to do useful things like: $ rpm --redhatprovides poptmodule.so rpm-python-4.0.3-1.03 So, you'll need to install rpm-python to get poptmodule.so. The version of rpm-python may differ, depending on what version of the distribution you are using. The only problem with the above is that I don't think rpmdb-redhat gets updated as new packages are released as errata, so the information may not be as up to date as it could be. - -D - -- pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/pgpkey.txt - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8SPNPeMAUbzJhSVcRAkwyAJ9zztonqhCIDO7d21YNSgzCwgNTEQCgr2ni iLnmyIOyv8SNcWCPNFDpCCg= =hlVT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
