You are using RPMs that were intended to be used with an older version of RPM
than the one you have. I would suggest using the --nodeps and --force flags for
the install if a test run of doing the rpm indicates that there are no other
unsatisfied dependencies

Subject: [newbie] RPM Problems
Hi there,
I am fairly new to Mandrake Linux and rpm's in general. I am experiencing a
peculiar problem when trying to install some rpm's.
I get the following errors (dependency failures) and I am unsure of how I
can solve this problem.
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 is needed by ......
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 is needed by ........
This has now occurred on a couple of different rpms'
I have mandrake 7.1 installed on a PIII 550 with 128M RAM
Any help on this would be appreciated.
