What dependency are you missing? When I check I get the following
from my RPM:
OK, I am beginning to understand RPM packaging a bit better.
It looks like the following one-liner will do our install from a
bare RPM that is not in any repository including all the required
dependencies:
sudo yum --nogpgcheck localinstall wsjtx-1.4.0-rc2.x86_64.rpm
Pretty much. "localinstall" used to mean something but now it's just a
redirect to "install" as it doesn't care if it's from a repo or a
local file anymore.
OK, the place where I found it implied that it was needed for that
reason but I didn't check the vintage.
I do notice that there doesn't seem to be a one-liner reverse
process un-install to back all the dependants that aren't used by
anything else. That might just be my lack of RPM/yuu-Fu.
Any comments on that Richard?
In the yum-utils package there is a helper script called
"package-cleanup" which can be used to find orphans (or other issues).
$ package-cleanup --leaves
But the list needs to be reviewed line by line because not all
packages that lack dependencies should be removed, such as the kernel,
which is not depended upon by another package :)
Hmmm, tried that but it didn't pick up many of the packages that I
thought it would. There were a bunch that I believe were orphaned when I
upgraded with fedup from 18 to 20 but the Qt packages that were pulled
in by the wsjtx install and all the 32-bit compatibility packages were
not listed.
Sometimes yum remove seems to know what were installed as dependants
other time it seems to forget and leave the leaves installed.
