[LIH]one basic question

[Yogesh Hasabnis]

Hi,

I have one basic question. I was facing problems when setting up PPP service on RH Linux 7.2. So after a Google search I found that the pppd source code needs to be modified and pppd needs to be reinstalled. So I downloaded the ppp package in .tar format. While uninstalling the existing ppp*.rpm, a message indicating that wvdial-*.rpm, rp3*.rpm etc depend on ppp*.rpm was observed. So I uninstalled those depending rpms, uninstalled the ppp*.rpm. Then after modifying the ppp source code, I installed the PPP package using "./configure; make; make install;" commands. Now when I try to reinstall wvdial*.rpm, rp3*.rpm etc, the system gives an error message that ppp*.rpm is required and it is not installed.

What is the standard procedure in sorting out such issues where we have to uninstall the rpms, (may be make some changes in the source code) reinstall the package in .tar format and reinstall the depending rpms ?

Thanks In Advance

Yogesh
