I am having a problem installing packages with RPM. A dependency (/sbin/install-info) exists in the filesystem, but is reported as being an unsatisfied dependency. It is my impression that dependency checking occurs within the RPM database, so I'm guessing that somehow /sbin/install-info doesn't exist in the RPM database. I have run "rpm --rebuilddb", but still get the same error. Has anyone had an experience like this, or have any thoughts about why this could happen?
MORE DETAILS: I am trying to install the updated glibc packages listed in http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2002-166.html Specifically, for RH7.1 i386, they are #ls glibc-2.2.4-29.i386.rpm glibc-devel-2.2.4-29.i386.rpm glibc-2.2.4-29.i686.rpm glibc-profile-2.2.4-29.i386.rpm glibc-common-2.2.4-29.i386.rpm nscd-2.2.4-29.i386.rpm When I try to install the packages I get the following dependency error: # rpm -Fvh *.rpm error: failed dependencies: /sbin/install-info is needed by glibc-devel-2.2.4-29 However, it appears that /sbin/install-info exists: # /sbin/install-info --version install-info (GNU texinfo) 4.0 ... Checking to see if other applications require /sbin/install-info yielded a long list of packages: # rpm -q --whatrequires /sbin/install-info and verifying these packages reveals other unsatisfied dependencies. For example: # rpm -V gcc-2.96-81 Unsatisfied dependencies for gcc-2.96-81: /sbin/install-info That's as far as I've got. Any help would be welcomed!
