One of my defining moments in Linux usage is Raju demo'ing LDAP. He
poped in the RPM CD, cd'ed to the directory, and did
rpm -Uvh *ldap*
which installed all the LDAP stuff.
This makes no sense. This may have also installed the
ldap-dummy-place-holder.rpm
cobol-bindings-ldap.rpm
packages as well. And this method dies when the LDAP RPM needs the
slapd-schemas.rpm
I see this as the *single* biggest problem in RedHat, and this has
kept me consistently in the Debian camp. I did use apt on an RH8.0
recently, and believe me, it was a pleasure to install xine.
