| Hello all,
| I've got a dependency problem while installing sawfish-0.27.2-1mdk.i586.rpm
|
| This is the error message I get:
| ***************************************************************************
| rpmerror: failed dependencies:
| /usr/sbin/install-menu is needed by sawfish-0.27.2-1mdk
| ***************************************************************************
| What kind of package is that???????
|
| Thanks in advance
It's not a package. There are two different ways of defining things
that an RPM needs:
First is Requires. These are packages or virtual packages (set by
Provides)
Second is Prereq. These prerequisites aren't for a specific package,
but for a specific file.
My guess is that you are trying to install the shiny new sawfish on a
7.0 or earlier system without the new menu system.
[anton@bladehawke anton]$ rpm -qf /usr/sbin/install-menu
menu-2.1.5-19mdk
Grab the menu rpm from cooker :p
