So then if you do want to install a package using RPM that would need another package that was installed manually, you would have to use the --nodeps option to force the install?
For example, I had to install MySQL using the source. To do this, I had to uninstall the older RPM installed version and other apps that used it because they were dependent on it. Now, I have to re-install those 'other apps' that depend on MySQL but RPM doesn't know about the new MySQL install. On Wed, 18 Feb 2004 08:37:48 -0600 Ryan Ware said: >I don't believe you can.
