Omar Serenity Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 I've been having trouble (ever since I tried to upgrade PHP and Apache, but that may be a coincidence) trying to install various packages. Here's an example: [root@localhost tmp]# rpm -Uvh opera-6.03-20020813.1-static-qt.i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: libXm.so.2 is needed by opera-6.03-20020813.1 [root@localhost tmp]# urpmf libXm.so.2 lesstif:/usr/X11R6/LessTif/Motif2.0/lib/libXm.so.2 lesstif:/usr/X11R6/LessTif/Motif2.0/lib/libXm.so.2.0.0 lesstif:/usr/X11R6/LessTif/Motif2.1/lib/libXm.so.2 lesstif:/usr/X11R6/LessTif/Motif2.1/lib/libXm.so.2.0.1 lesstif:/usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.2 lesstif:/usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.2.0.1 openmotif:/usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.2 openmotif:/usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.2.1 openmotif:/usr/lib/libXm.so.2 [root@localhost tmp]# locate libXm.so.* [root@localhost tmp]# locate libXm /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6.2 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.3 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmuu.so.1.0 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmuu.so /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmuu.so.1 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.3.0.1 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.a /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmuu.a Although that could be a problem with the opera rpm. Also, attempting to reinstall my nvidia rpms (adding the v4l module killed it) tells me that it is already installed, but the glx driver will not load...X exits on signal 11 when I try to edit my XFConfig-4 file. Attempting to do rpm -e NVidia* or rpm -qa | grep NVidia tells me that it is not installed. Any thoughts on any of this? TIA [edit] Various other RPMs give me conflicting "not installed" or "already installed" errors. [/edit] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest slayman Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 i have the same problems!! I am new to mandrake and I am new in rpm's also....so i can't br of much help...sorry... I'm waiting for a reply also!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anon Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 Just guessing here, think i would backup PHP and Apache, maybe opera too, then remove them from the system, rebuild the rpm database then see if everything else works OK If it does, re install opera, check again. then do the apache etc. Maybe the upgrade files for apache, PHP were corrupt ? Tried forcing a file system check ? just guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Serenity Posted October 30, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 Haven't tried removing PHP and Apache yet, but I did do: rpm --rebuilddb and still it gives me erroneous info when trying to install RPMs. Guess I'll try removing Apache/PHP and trying that next, but I don't see how they could corrupt my rpm db. Even so, why does "rpm -qa | grep whatever" tell me that something is installed, but "rpm -e whatever" tells me it is NOT installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Serenity Posted October 30, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 P.S. I did get the NVidia stuff reinstalled. I just did rpm -qa | grep NV and removed everything it showed me was installed, then reinstalled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anon Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 so, why does "rpm -qa | grep whatever" tell me that something is installed, but "rpm -e whatever" tells me it is NOT installed? It doesn't make sense does it ?? I had something simular happen back when i was running mdk 8.1, never found out what caused it, fixed it by upgrading urpmi,rpm etc, from cooker. Post if you figure it out please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
