With a geforce 2 it is necessary for me use xfree 4.0.1 with Nvidia's
drivers. Following the advice of several people on the list I'm upgrading
using the RPMs from cooker, however I have encountered a couple of problems.
Below is a copy of my attempts so far
[root@bertha xfree-4.0.1]# ls
XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.0.1-21mdk.i586.rpm
XFree86-4.0.1-21mdk.i586.rpm
XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.0.1-21mdk.i586.rpm
XFree86-Xnest-4.0.1-21mdk.i586.rpm
XFree86-Xvfb-4.0.1-21mdk.i586.rpm
XFree86-devel-4.0.1-21mdk.i586.rpm
XFree86-libs-4.0.1-21mdk.i586.rpm
XFree86-server-4.0.1-21mdk.i586.rpm
XFree86-static-libs-4.0.1-21mdk.i586.rpm
XFree86-xfs-4.0.1-21mdk.i586.rpm
man-pages-1.31-1mdk.noarch.rpm
[root@bertha xfree-4.0.1]# rpm -U *
error: failed dependencies:
rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1 is needed by
XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.0.1-21mdk
rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1 is needed by
XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.0.1-21mdk
initscripts >= 5.27-28mdk is needed by XFree86-xfs-4.0.1-21mdk
[root@bertha xfree-4.0.1]# rpm -q rpmlib
package rpmlib is not installed
[root@bertha xfree-4.0.1]# rpm -q initscripts
initscripts-4.97-34mdk
My questions are
1) how do i get rpmlib? Might I already have it? It doesn't appear to be a
package in it's own right
2) How safe is it to upgrade initscripts to the cooker version? They must be
fairly specific, ie incompatible between mandrake releases.
3) Is what I'm doing a good idea?
