About the RPM thing, try to put all the packages and dependent packages on the "rpm -e" line and see if that works out. The same should work for installing mutually dependent packages. >>> adamm at sihope.com 08/25/03 11:32AM >>> rpm --erase Mysql-blah fails depends check because of Perl-DBD. Okay, so I rpm --erase Perl-DBD, which fails depends check because of Mysql-blah. Great, I've seen this kind of circular logic before, but out of Redmond. Okay, so I try rpm --erase --nodeps Perl-DBD and it hangs. Process is running, not gaining time. It's been sitting there spinning for 30 minutes. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
