Tried urpmi:
[root@localhost tmp]# urpmi wireless-tools-25-3mdk.i586.rpm
The following packages have bad signatures:
wireless-tools-25-3mdk.i586.rpm
Do you want to continue installation ? (y/N) y
installing wireless-tools-25-3mdk.i586.rpm
Installation failed:
libiw25 is needed by wireless-tools-25-3mdk
libiw.so.25 is needed by wireless-tools-25-3mdk
[root@localhost tmp]#
[root@localhost tmp]# rpm -q urpmi
urpmi-4.1-10mdk
If I install --allow-force I'm sure it will go but I try to avoid
doing that. Any ideas?
