Now what do I do?
Download all of them, except for the src.rpm (and the texinfo-debuginfo package). Then, run: sudo rpm -Uvh info-6.0-2.fc17.1.x86_64.rpm perl-File-ShareDir-Install-0.10-3.fc17.noarch.rpm perl-Module-Install-AuthorRequires-0.02-10.fc17.noarch.rpm perl-Module-Install-AuthorTests-0.002-10.fc17.noarch.rpm perl-Module-Install-ManifestSkip-0.24-4.fc17.noarch.rpm perl-Module-Install-Repository-0.06-10.fc17.noarch.rpm perl-Module-Manifest-Skip-0.23-4.fc17.noarch.rpm perl-Module-Package-0.30-9.fc17.noarch.rpm perl-Module-Package-Au-2-4.fc17.noarch.rpm perl-Unicode-EastAsianWidth-1.33-6.fc17.noarch.rpm texinfo-6.0-2.fc17.1.x86_64.rpm texinfo-tex-6.0-2.fc17.1.x86_64.rpm rpm has two install modes: * -i installs new packages. * -U upgrades a package over an existing install The reasons for these modes are historical trivia, practically, humans always use -U, because -i chokes if a package is already present, which is what you saw. -v tells rpm to be verbose, and -h tells it to do pretty progress hashing. hth, ~tom PS. I totally meant "texinfo" when I referred to the src.rpm earlier. Too much tex on the brain today. == Red Hat _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Fedora mailing list R-SIG-Fedora@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-fedora
