rpm --aid problem

[NiCK_76]

Appear error message "Failed dependencies" When I install rpm package with --aid option under SLES9.
why?

Hi nick,
may be because the package that you are trying to install needs some other packages that are not installed and/or do not exist on the sles rpm database. I don't know suse well but try to find if the redhat instructions on that site ( http://www.redhat.com/advice/tips/rhce/rpm.html ) applies to suse and solve your problem.

regards,
Xyko

Hi

The reason for this error is that the package ou are trying to install is looking for some supported packages/RPM's already installed on the server, I think you need to check for pre-requisite for the package you are installing.

thank you.
I was put all rpm files in the same dirtory. then edit the file /usr/lib/rpm/macros and change the
%_solve_pkgsdir /windows/F/dl/suse/SLES9/suse/i586

I have installed xxx.rpm with the --aid switch,It seems nothing has changed and appears "Failed dependencies" .
