Plesae do not send your mail 92342 times!!!
that will make people not want to help you..
you should always read the release notes of a distribution before
upgrading...
I am not using RH 8.0 and I know what the problem is.. you should know it
better than I, since you are using it..
>From the Red Hat Website (the release notes, which are also included in the
CDs..):
o The RPM Package Manager (RPM) functionality has been separated into
two packages with distinct functionalities. The rpm package is for
installing, querying, verifying and removing RPM packages from your
Red Hat Linux system; the rpm-build package is for building and
creating RPM packages for your Red Hat Linux system. Refer to the
manual pages for both rpm and rpmbuild by typing man rpm and man
rpmbuild at a shell prompt for more information about these commands.
o RPM verifies digital signatures when reading packages during
installation. In order to verify signatures for packages after
installation, the package's public key must be imported into the rpm
database. For example, to import the Red Hat public key, type the
following as root at a shell prompt:
rpm --import /usr/share/doc/rpm-/RPM-GPG-KEY
Note that this key will be imported the first time up2date is run.
After importing the public key, you can verify package digest and
signature information using the following command:
rpm -K -V package_name
o RPM will also suggest package(s) that will satisfy unresolved
dependencies if the rpmdb-redhat package is installed. For example,
if
you are attempting to upgrade the gnumeric without a necessary
library, you will see the following message:
rpm -Uvh gnumeric-1.0.5-5.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libbonobo-print.so.2 is needed by gnumeric-1.0.5-5
libbonobo.so.2 is needed by gnumeric-1.0.5-5
libbonobox.so.2 is needed by gnumeric-1.0.5-5
Suggested resolutions:
bonobo-1.0.20-3.i386.rpm
The above mechanism is equivalent to (and will replace) the existing
--redhatprovides mechanism.
