The first three are the RPM package names: python, rpm-python, python-xmlrpc -- just make sure you install version greater than or equal to the ones listed. The list one, /usr/bin/python, is part of the python package and should go away if you install the python package. > [root@ns1 root]# rpm -ivh up2date-2.7.11-7.x.2.i386.rpm > error: failed dependencies: > python >= 1.5.2-27 is needed by up2date-2.7.11-7.x.2 > rpm-python >= 4.0.2 is needed by up2date-2.7.11-7.x.2 > python-xmlrpc >= 1.5.0 is needed by up2date-2.7.11-7.x.2 > gnupg is needed by up2date-2.7.11-7.x.2 > rhn_register is needed by up2date-2.7.11-7.x.2 > poptmodule.so is needed by up2date-2.7.11-7.x.2 > /usr/bin/python is needed by up2date-2.7.11-7.x.2 > The first 5 are packages: python, rpm-python, python-xmlrpc, gnupg, rhn_register. poptmodule.so is part of rpm-python, and /usr/bin/python is part of the python package. > Its telling me the files i need, but not the .RPM files that i need to > install to satisfy the dep's, BY FAR the worst thing about RPM. Most of these are packages. :-) If it lists something other than a package, you can go to a different Red Hat box that has everything installed and use the command: rpm -qf `locate poptmodule.so` Of course, most people don't have a box around that has an everything RH install. You can also go to rpmfind.net and search for the file like poptmodule.so. It will bring up the package that installs it. Then, just install that RPM from your RH CD, RH ftp site, or RHN. > Is there a > place i can go a program i can install (and hopefully not have dep problems, > UHHG) to tell me what .RPM certain files are in?
