I'm having problems installing a number of rpm packages.
Can't install these:
Guppi-0.35.2-1.i586.rpm
glibc-2.2.1-3mdk.i586.rpm
glibc-devel-2.2.1-3mdk.i586.rpm
bonobo-0.33-2mdk.i586.rpm
rpm error message:
"only packages with major numbers =3 are supported by this version
of RPM"
NOTE: this is not the usual dependency problem, the RPM program itself,
fails to open "Guppi-0.35.2-1.i586.rpm", even for query!
Can't install these:
gettext-0.10.35-17mdk.rpm
gettext-devel-0.10.35-17mdk.rpm
libgnomeprint11-0.25-3mdk.rpm
libgnomeprint11-devel-0.25-3mdk.rpm
Because of dependencies:
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) = 4.0-1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) = 3.0.4-1
I have no clue where these functions are. A search on rpmfind
turns um
nothing. A search on Mandrake web site also turns up nothing.
I was
on the mandrake mailing lists and they offered no particular help,
other
than to point out that I needed EARLIER versions of what ever this
was,
but they didn't tell me what it was.
I did a search for string "PayloadFilesHavePrefix" and
"CompressedFileNames" from /usr, both were found in:
/usr/bin/rmp2cpio
/usr/lib/librpm.so.0
/usr/lib/librpm.so.0.0.0
/usr/lib/librpm.a
/usr/lib/librpm.so
Current versions:
Mandrake 7.0
rpm-3.0.5-27mdk.i586.rpm
rpm-devel3.0.5-27mdk.i586.rpm
These are in rpm and rpm-devel. Could not find version rpm-3.0.4
in
Mandrake binary format on rpmfind, but I had 3.0.3 on my Mandrake 7.0
CD.
I installed them:
rpm -U --force rpm-3.0.3-43mdk.i586.rpm rpm-devel-3.0.3-43mdk.i586.rpm
Unfortunately, this did not fix the "rpmlib(...) = x" dependency
problems,
nor did it fix the "major numbers =3" problem.
There seems to be an error in the dependency message!
i.e., is "rpmlib" really "librpm" ?
Also, is the "= 4.0-1" and "= 3.0.4-1" really supposed to be
">=" ?
After all, I downgraded my rpm to "= 3.0.4-1" and get the same
dependency messages.
