Trying to install apt so I can play with apt4rpm. [root at pelican lib]# cd /var/tmp/apt [root at pelican apt]# ls apt-0.3.19CVS-20011212.i386.rpm libapt-0.3.19CVS-20011212.i386.rpm apt4rpm-0.1.1-1.i386.rpm XML-Simple-1.06-1.i386.rpm [root at pelican apt]# rpm -Uhv *.rpm error: failed dependencies: librpm.so.0 is needed by apt-0.3.19CVS-20011212 [root at pelican apt]# ls -l /usr/lib/librpm.* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 366990 Sep 6 2001 /usr/lib/librpm.a -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 716 Sep 6 2001 /usr/lib/librpm.la lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Oct 26 05:52 /usr/lib/librpm.so -> librpm-4.0.3.so I believe I have the latest version of rpm: [root at pelican apt]# rpm -q rpm rpm-4.0.3-1.03 And the apt rpms I just downloaded on Friday so they should be current. How can I get around this dependency? I tried symbolically linking librpm-4.0.3.so to librpm.so.0 the installing with --nodeps but then apt-get fails: [root at pelican apt]# apt-get apt-get: relocation error: /usr/lib/librpm.so.0: undefined symbol: chroot_prefix Thanks for any help you can offer. Thanks. -- Amy Tanner amy at real-time.com
