Hello. I am seeing a lot of problems with cooker RPM's. For example, my latest install quanta3.1-1mdk.i586.rpm
On attempted install, this aborts with messages showing several failed dependencies. Yet when I use regular mandrake releases, I never see dependency problems. It would seem the files required are already installed, with the package or retrieved and installed transparently. Why is this such a problem with cooker releases ? In the BSD's using the package system, it is setup to check for the required filkes and libraries plus version, if it doesn't find it, it checks the cdrom and then goes to the net, downloads and installs it, and continues with the install. The BSD's have done this for several years. I thought this dependency/stop install problem had been fixed in the RPM system with added capability (go get the required dependency RPM) at least Three years ago. Do we still have to manually go and install, each and every dependency listed in this day and age. Opinions ? Bricks, clubbings...well you know. Please enlighten me. Regards...Martin
