The dependencies are calculated when doing the initial selection, are they not? So when you read the selected list back, shouldn't : 'rpm -q packagename' for every package in the list be sufficient to tell the system if the package is installed, and if not, select the package for install. An if you need some additional way to make sure that rpmdrake knows that a package is installed, how about this: ---------- # list of selected files when starting install package1 package2 package3 package4 package5 package6 package7 package8 package9 ---------- and then when the install fails, run 'rpm -q packagename' for every package listed, and add OK for every package that got installed ---------- # list of selected files when starting install package1 OK package2 OK package3 OK package4 package5 OK package6 OK package7 package8 package9 OK ---------- so ven rpmdrake rereads the selected list, finds that package4, 7 and 8 is not installed it adds them to the selection. If then lets say package4 depends on package2, rpmdrake checks the list above, and if the package2 has OK then rpmdrake knows that dependencies are satisfied, if no OK, add package2 to selected items. Something like this should work, shouldn't it? *** Tämä viesti on VirusTarkistettu INRITEL OY:n postipalvelimella!! ***
