Guest mwalkden Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 I'm trying to install a cooker postfix RPM on MDK 9 and I get the following in the package manager when I try to install: Dependency Problem: coreutils is needed by postfix-1.1.12-1mdk openssl is needed by postfix-1.1.12-1mdk I know openssl is installed (coreutils I haven't verified yet) so why do I get this error? I went into remove software program and openssl is listed there (can be uninstalled). Any help please!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MottS Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 Cooker stuff is rarely build with against packages that are on our cds. They probably build postfix with a cooker version of openssl and coreutils. So if you really want to install that cooker version, go to www.rpmfind.net and search for the cooker of openssl and coreutils and hope it will be the good one... BTW, postfix is on our cds --> install with 'urpmi postfix' and VOILA ! Hope this help MOttS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chalex20 Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 The best ( usually ) way to install Cooker packages is to download source Cooker RPM and to rebuild it against distribution packages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 [bvc9@localhost bvc9]$ urpmf coreutils fileutils:/usr/share/info/coreutils.info.bz2 [bvc9@localhost bvc9]$ urpmf openssl libopenssl0:/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0 openssl:/usr/bin/c_rehash libopenssl0-devel Make sure all these are installed, although I don't know why fileutils/coreutils info would be necessary. [bvc9@localhost bvc9]$ rpm -q libopenssl0-devel package libopenssl0-devel is not installed [bvc9@localhost bvc9]$ rpm -q libopenssl0 libopenssl0-0.9.6g-1mdk [bvc9@localhost bvc9]$ rpm -q openssl openssl-0.9.6g-1mdk [bvc9@localhost bvc9]$ rpm -q fileutils fileutils-4.1.11-5mdk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mwalkden Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 First, thanks for all the replies! Mott: I didn't know that. I thought that if it was from Mandrake's cooker (and with MDK designation) it was built against the distribution. chalex20 is saying the same thing so I better listen! I went ahead and installed without the dependencies and it broke my postfix (I think) :( That's OK though, I can get it back! I was trying the latest snapshot (that was in RPM form), which is not on the CDs. I already had Postfix running that came with the distro. Thanks for the code bvc!
