Nope. All other platforms the api isn't necessary. I agree with your customer. You could verify it by installing regardless of the dependency (--nodeps flag). I'm guessing Tivoli made a mistake including the api as a dependency. Unless someone from Tivoli wants to clarify why in this case it's suddenly necessary..

It's likely that I will never, ever, need anything else from the API package." [root@kodiak ~]# rpm -Fvh ~jgd/TIVsm-BA.i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: libApiDS.so is needed by TIVsm-BA-5.1.0-1 Can anyone out there supply a reason for this dependency? Thank you.
