This does not work for me. I have a fresh installation of FC1, about a day or
two old, and I installed *everything* (I repartitioned to make enough space
to install everything specifically to avoid situations like this, where
software that is supposed to install/run will not).
This is what I get:
[root@localhost kde]# rpm -Uvh *.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
kdeaddons = %{epoch}:3.1.94-0.2 is needed by
kdeaddons-atlantikdesigner-3.1.94-0.2
XFree86-devel is needed by kdesdk-devel-3.1.94-0.1
libnetsnmp.so.5 is needed by kdeutils-3.1.94-0.2
XFree86-devel is needed by qt-devel-3.2.3-0.2
[root@localhost kde]#
Now, I was getting failures and started trying to install individual packages
so the above failures might not be the *original* failures, but it's been
failing all along.
Three questions:
1. The web site instructions say "Do It In This Order" but you're suggesting
that I just throw all the RPMs together and say "install them all!" Does that
mean the web site is wrong?
2. If the web site is not wrong, where is the package that they say you MUST
install first? Why is it not present in the latest beta directory?
3. What should I do about the failures above?
-stuck and unable to ever get any software for linux to install ever and very
frustrated. :-(
