For instance, I tried to install the HTML validator from WDG. They have a FC4 RPM for it [1], so I tried that. It also wants some perl modules: perl-Unicode-Map8 perl-Unicode-String perl(I18N::Charset) I found that out when trying an RPM install of the validator. I thought I'd try: yum localinstall /path/to/wdg-html-validator-1.6.2-1.i386.rpm seeing as the docs say that YUM will try and retrieve dependencies from repos if it can. But it fails because the last PERL module isn't available. In an effort to avoid lots of trouble, I've used YUM to install the first two from RPMs: yum install perl-Unicode-Map8 perl-Unicode-String Leaving me with the problem of getting perl(I18N::Charset) some other way before I can install the main program. 1:<http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/packages/wdg-html-validator-1.6.2-1.i386.rpm>, 2:<http://mirror.optus.net/fedora/extras/4/i386/> RPM is all well and good until you strike this issue. Even if I do install the module in another way, the next RPM that insists on its presence is probably going to fail. Is there a simple way to inform RPM that it has been installed? -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
