As root, I go to Applications | System Settings | Add/Remove Applications, let it do it's thing, and then select the relevant package choices. (I'm not drilling down and trying to second-guess it's default selections.)
Now, when it is going through it's dependency checks, it tells me there are a number of things that need to be installed first. But when I do an "rpm -q <packagename>" I get a message that it's installed.
Can anyone tell me a) what I'm doing wrong or b) assuming the answer is "nothing" tell me how to 1) get around the issue, 2) force it to install whatever it needs first, and/or 3) suggest a better way of getting the packages installed?
Thanks in advance for the patience. And, yes, I did try searching the archives first ...
