Paul, I and many others have been down that road. It's one of more irritating things, probably why someone adapted Debian's apt-get tool for RPMs. Check out http://linuxvm.org/archives/200201.html and look at the second entry for 01/21/2002. Alan Cox talks about apt-rpm there.

Is there anyway of knowing the 'prereqs' and 'coreqs' in advance, or is this strictly a case of 'one-thing-leads-to-another'? Thanks, Paul ========================================================= Paul, If that's the only complaint RPM gave you, then for the kernel, all you will need is the new modutils. Now, what complaints you get when you go to install modutils are another matter. :) Mark Post -----Original Message----- From: paultz [mailto:paultz@;ucia.gov] Sent: Monday, October 21, 2002 5:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Red Hat 7.2 upgrade I am trying to upgrade an RH7.2 from 2.4.9-17 to 2.4.9-38. This is on an internal system with no connectivity to the internet. When I try installing kernel-2.4.9-38.s390.rpm, I get a "modutils >= 2.4.13 is needed by kernel-2.4.9-38". Do I just need the new modutils to upgrade, or will I need the 2.4.9-37 rpm and others as well? Thanks, Paul
