Thanks Michael, OK I installed the libxml2 rpm, tried installing yum again - rpm -ivh http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/redhat/8.0/yum/yum-2.0.3-5.rh.fr.i386 .rpm and got the error - Retrieving http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/redhat/8.0/yum/yum-2.0.3-5.rh.fr.i386 .rpm warning: /var/tmp/rpm-xfer.nOeAPh: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID e42d547b error: Failed dependencies: rpm >= 4.1.1 is needed by yum-2.0.3-5.rh.fr Does this mean that now all that's left is to execute that huge command again that I originally did last night and that all the dependencies are met, but I just need to do a re execute of the command - rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/8.0/legacy-utils/i386/rpm-4.1.1-1.8x .i386.rpm \ http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/8.0/legacy-utils/i386/rpm-build-4.1. 1-1.8x.i386.rpm \ http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/8.0/legacy-utils/i386/rpm-devel-4.1. 1-1.8x.i386.rpm \ http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/8.0/legacy-utils/i386/rpm-python-4.1 .1-1.8x.i386.rpm \ http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/8.0/legacy-utils/i386/popt-1.7.1-1.8 x.i386.rpm \ http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/8.0/updates/i386/gnupg-1.0.7-14.i386 .rpm Dan -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Michael Schwendt Sent: Monday, August 16, 2004 11:17 AM To: For users of Fedora Core releases Subject: Re: Failed dependencies error upon downloading yum On Mon, 16 Aug 2004 10:54:00 -0400, DBS wrote: > Michael, > > Are libxml2-python and the rpm >= 4.1.1 on the RH distro disks too? The former yes, the latter no. rpm >= 4.1.1 is what you tried to installed following the Fedora Legacy documentation. > Got two more failed dependencies upon an install attempt for yum... > > warning: /var/tmp/rpm-xfer.DOXB7X: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID e42d547b > error: Failed dependencies: > libxml2-python is needed by yum-2.0.3-5.rh.fr > rpm >= 4.1.1 is needed by yum-2.0.3-5.rh.fr You can also install everything at once, i.e. add the "yum" and "libxml2-python" packages to your original command-line. Sometimes you must install multiple packages at once to resolve circular dependencies. But in your case, you just need to start with upgrading RPM and friends: rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/8.0/legacy-utils/i386/rpm-4.1.1-1.8x .i386.rpm \ http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/8.0/legacy-utils/i386/rpm-python-4.1 .1-1.8x.i386.rpm \ http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/8.0/legacy-utils/i386/popt-1.7.1-1.8 x.i386.rpm \ http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/8.0/updates/i386/gnupg-1.0.7-14.i386 .rpm -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
