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
