I have mandrake 7.2 installed on a machine for the
SOLE purpose of serving some games and thus far has worked fine.
Recently i tried to installed "tcl/tk" ...i grabbed
the RPM's ..and tried to run them doing
# rpm -i tcl-8.x.x.rpm <--this
didnt work ..giving me depend errors for RPM ..giving me the following
errors
error: failed
dependencies:
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 is needed by tcl-8.3.3-62 rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 is needed by tcl-8.3.3-62 forgive me ...im way more experianced with BSD
unix. and not familier with rpm's or linux
however i rather not go thru the hassle of
installing another OS...id rather try to fix the problem..
my question is this ...how do i do an UPDATE ...of
the OS ...or is there a pkg installer other than rpm's
and other than getting the .tar
files..
BSD has a command line package installer called
/stand/sysinstall....that lets me select wether from CDROM or
FTP...
and select from a list of available packages...
does Mandrake have something like this ????
any help is greatly appreciated ....thank you
for your time
Brent
