Hi all,
I've been following the thread on "rpm files not
keeping an accurate
record of installed rpms". I am also having trouble
with rpms.
I cannot install some software because of the
following:
[root@localhost downloads]# rpm -i
libglade-0.7-1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
libxml.so.1 is needed by libglade-0.7-1
I checked for libxmlso, and found the rpm on my cd, so
I proceded to
install. I got the a message telling me it was already
installed.
I the started reading the "rpm files not keeping..."
thread on this
list,
and tried the following:
[root@localhost RPMS]# rpm -e libxml-1.0.0-2
[root@localhost RPMS]# rpm -Uvh
libxml-1.0.0-2.i386.rpm
libxml
##################################################
[root@localhost RPMS]# cd ~mark/downloads
[root@localhost downloads]# ls
libPropList-0.10.1 neXtaw-0.5.1p2
plotutils-2.2.tar.gz
libPropList-0.10.1.tar.gz neXtaw-0.5.1p2-glibc.tar.gz
libglade-0.7-1.i386.rpm plotutils-2.2
[root@localhost downloads]# rpm -Uvh
libglade-0.7-1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
libxml.so.1 is needed by libglade-0.7-1
I again tried
[root@localhost RPMS]# rpm --rebuilddb
but still the errors.
I looked at the rpm man page and tried:
[root@localhost downloads]# rpm -Uvh
libglade-0.7-1.i386.rpm --nodeps
libglade
###############################################
I tried again to install the software:
[root@localhost numexp-0.2]# ./configure
---8<---------------------------------------
checking for libglade-config... no
checking for libglade... no
configure: error: Sorry, libglade is required.
---8<---------------------------------------
I had a look with rpm -qa|sort, and both the libraries
showed up:
---8<---------------------------------------
libghttp-devel-1.0.2-3
libglade-0.7-1
libgr-2.0.13-17
libungif-devel-4.1.0-2
libxml-1.0.0-2
lilo-0.21-6
---8<---------------------------------------
Another curious fact, I looked for libxml.so.1 with
Locate, and found:
[root@localhost numexp-0.2]# locate libxml
/mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/libxml-1.0.0-2.i386.rpm
/mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/libxml-devel-1.0.0-2.i386.rpm
/usr/doc/libxml-1.0.0
/usr/doc/libxml-1.0.0/AUTHORS
/usr/doc/libxml-1.0.0/COPYING
/usr/doc/libxml-1.0.0/COPYING.LIB
/usr/doc/libxml-1.0.0/ChangeLog
/usr/doc/libxml-1.0.0/NEWS
/usr/doc/libxml-1.0.0/README
/usr/doc/libxml-1.0.0/TODO
/usr/lib/libxml.so.1
/usr/lib/libxml.a
/usr/lib/libxml.la
/usr/lib/libxml.so
/usr/lib/libxml.so.1.0.0
In summary, I think this really is a case where the
rpm database is NOT
properly tracking the packages installed on my system.
Does anyone have
any REAL solutions to this problem? Has anyone else
experienced the
same?
This is the second time libxml has prevented me from
installing
software.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Mark Irvine
