AutoReqProv in RPM

[Gemini_2]

Hi..I have a question regarding AutoReqProv
in RPM. The library file is on the computer, but rpm failed during the installation and complained about the dependancy.

does anyone have idea how to troubleshoot it?

I use linux 4.

thank you

Shalom,

Two choices:

1) fulfil its dependency. It asks for a specific libary or software which you fail to provide in this thread. Install what its asking for. Here is a little trick, in case it needs base OS software. Make a directory with all rpm's in it. cd to it. rpm -ivh --aid That will install dependencies at the same time.

2) rpm with the --force or --nodeps parameter. This is a BAD option because probably the software will not work.

This is a feature, not bug :-)

RPM doesn't check if this library exists, but if there is RPM package installed which provides this library.

##let me elaborate more, I have two rpm packages

Cots.rpm
App.rpm

App.rpm failed on the dependance check because it needs one library file from Cots.rpm.

But, Cots.rpm installed sucessfully and the needed library (a.so) is in the /usr/local/cots/lib. So, why App.rpm failed?

so, how do I fix the problem?
thank YOU

I'd rather say it is a RPM problem. That problem is very disturbing especially when you install perl packages.

If you are sure the required libraries are installed, then you just installl the rpm using --nodeps.

can you please send us output of
1) rpm -ql cots
2) rpm -qRp app.rpm
