Trying to install an rpm package downloaded from rpmfind.net I got an
error message saying that two libraries were needed before I could install
this rpm package. Going back to rpmfind.net to download those two
libraries I discovered two things:
1. The two missing libraries are included in the rpm package I was
trying to install.
2. The two missing libraries are _only_ included in the rpm package I
was trying to install. That is, it is _not_ possible to download those two
libraries separately. Attempting to download the two missing libraries
only results in downloading the original rpm package. I doubt that it will
help to download it again.
The name of the package I have tried to install is
XFree86-4.0.1-28mdk.i586.rpm. The two libraries needed in order to install
it are libXaw.so.7 and libXfont.so.1. These two libraries are included in
the XFree86-4.0.1-28mdk.i586.rpm package. How can there be a failed
dependency when those two libraries are included in the package? How do I
get around this? How can I install XFree86-4.0.1-28mdk? Thank you for
your help.
