RPM conflicts

Here is a small bit of the error when i try to install a rpm after a tar.gz file was installed.

These conflicts don't conflict with a tar.gz install. they conflict with a previous rpm that was installed. Remove "openssl-0.9.7a-2" rpm. Of course, these names are so similar that they might actually be the same one and the last "0" got lost in the cut and paste. If so then I am wrong and it is conflicting with something else.

You could try "forcing" the rpm install as, if they really are the same or it is conflicting with a previous .gz file, it wont really matter because it's the same software.

I think its "rpm --force -i" but you might want to check the man page on that or wait for Huc to tell you :)

Hmmm very interesting. I looked and the "0" did not in fact get lost in the cut in paste. It really is just the 2 it ends with. Maybe i'll try the force.... Thanks Mark.

You must upgrade the old openssl-0.9.7a-2 package.

# rpm -Fvh openssl-0.9.7a-20.i386.rpm

"F" option will only upgrade a package if an older version is already installed.

please be aware of the consequences before you force upgrade an rpm. if you break some dependency, then you might end up with some application not being working.

Maybe it is a good idea to first check what rpm thinks you have installed:

zinser@bibo:~> rpm -q -a | grep -i ssl
openssl-0.9.6i-12

(And yes, I do have a never SSL, but that was installed directly from the source tarball, so rpm does not know about it ;-)
