It's not an rpm issue - it's an issue for those who wrote theHowever - what I think most of us would like is a simple service that gives us the FULL dependency list, not just the first level. A list like that can of only be generated if you already have all the necessary libraries - the developer(s) of the given RPM should do this.
dependencies within the package. When I was running a Mandrake release
a couple of years back, I installed multiple versions of libraries -
their rpms allowed this.
Note, however, that many packages have strict requirements - they won't
work with older or newer versions of the library.
This is not really a Red Hat Linux issue - it's an issue with all OS's
that use shared files. Inevitably one app will require a different
version of a shared file than another app. That's one of the
disadvantages of using shared libraries. If you don't like it, compile
all your applications with static libraries - your file sizes will
baloon, but you won't have dependency issues.
