Rpm dependancy issues

I am rying to ugprade from apache 1.3.19-5 to apache 1.3.22-5 but I am getting an error that tells me that apache 1.3.22-5 needs mod_bandwidth
mod_put
mod_throttle
libmm.so-11 and
apache = 1.3.19-5 is needed by mod_ssl-2.8.1-5
Now when I was looking for these things I was find that they are supposed to come with apache 1.3.19-5. Now I don't know why I can't find them but i was wondering if anyone out there knew if I should just download the seperate rpms and install them or re-install 1.3.19-5 or what so I can upgrade the system. Any help I could get would be greatly appreciated

Re: Rpm dependancy issues

Hi

If you want to know the dependency before install RPM, use
# rpm -qRp

This command tells you the dependency file name of the RPM.

If you want to find some RPMs, I advice you to check your Distribution web site or http://rpmfind.net/

Good luck

Re: Rpm dependancy issues

Well I dunno I just can't seem to get this thing installed. I downloaded the files I need to fill in the missing dependencies but they are saying that they need apache-1.3.22-5 the very version I am trying to install. Am I just missing something here or was
apache-1.3.19-5 not installed right or what? I dunno. Ohh and masanari, i dunno what is up I have tried giving you points twice now and it hasn't worked I will try again real quick but sorry if it doesn't work.

Hi,

I think that if you have RedHat Network set up the best way would be to do:
up2date apache
This will deal with all dependencies.
The harder way would be to check what apache needs and install these RPM's by hand.
Hope this helps.

Re: Rpm dependancy issues

I talked with some of my co-workers about that and they told me that once you used it that it would upgrade to the most current version out there and then auto-upgrade when new and better software comes out. Is it possible to only have it install what you want it to install and then not install anything else unless you try to use it again? We are currently running RedHat 7.1 right now and we don't wish to upgrade that at all.

Joshua,

Using rhn and up2date is quite reliable. The up2date wizard (or whatever you want to call it) NEVER installs anything you don't tell it to. It only retrieves a list of what is available and offers it to you for your approval. You can select any or no packages at all from the offerings.

As far as RHN having the MOST uptodate apache, it might, or it might not. All depends on how recently the beastie was released and whether they've gotten around to making a redhat version of the RPM.

Best regards
Mark
(I actually have been using up2date and rhn for several months now, and like it a lot.)
