The cleanest fix for this is to build your own Apache RPM (tweak the official one with your changes) so that the dependencies will be satisfied. > So while trying to install the rpm is get this error: > > [root@cogent6 src]# rpm -Uvh --force webalizer-2.01_10-15.ent.i386.rpm > warning: webalizer-2.01_10-15.ent.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key > ID 0c98ff9d > error: Failed dependencies: > webserver is needed by webalizer-2.01_10-15.ent > Suggested resolutions: > httpd-2.0.46-44.ent.centos.2.i386.rpm This appears to be a Centos system, not a Fedora system. > Hmm .. not sure why, this worked fine on my other Fedora Boxes. > > Can you tell me why I can't force install ? --force is not a way of avoiding dependencies. > Or how I can make it ignore dependencies?
