This question is really about dependencies, I am using Mozilla as an example.
I upgraded Mozilla from 1.0.1 to 1.3a on a RH 8 system. [admin@team900 admin]$ rpm -qa | grep mozilla mozilla-1.3a-0_rh8_xft mozilla-psm-1.3a-0_rh8_xft mozilla-nspr-1.3a-0_rh8_xft mozilla-nss-1.3a-0_rh8_xft If I examine the dependencies that exist between these packages, I find: [admin@team900 admin]$ rpm -q --requires mozilla | grep mozilla mozilla-nspr = 1.3a-0_rh8_xft [admin@team900 admin]$ rpm -q --requires plugger | grep mozilla mozilla [admin@team900 admin]$ rpm -q --requires mozilla-nss | grep mozilla mozilla-nspr = 1.3a-0_rh8_xft [admin@team900 admin]$ rpm -q --requires mozilla-psm | grep mozilla mozilla = 1.3a-0_rh8_xft mozilla-nss = 1.3a-0_rh8_xft which defines these dependencies: mozilla-psm needs mozilla and mozilla-nss mozilla-nss needs mozilla-nspr mozilla needs mozilla-nspr plugger needs mozilla When trying to upgrade, no matter what rpm -Uvh I tried, a dependency got me. Force did not work since it does not overcome dependencies. I finally, did a rpm -e on mozilla-psm, mozilla-nss, plugger, and mozilla (in that order) and reinstalled things. Did a better method exist to have installed Mozilla? Does a better way exist to determine dependencies on installed packages?
