I first tried to install a package using YaST, but it saw that it had a "newer" verson on CD, so it went with that version instead.
Not cool.
So I tried installing it via the rpm command and got:
linux:/home/krikket/downloads/vcd # rpm -i mjpegtools-1.6.1.90-1.src.rpm warning: user rbultje does not exist - using root linux:/home/krikket/downloads/vcd #
linux:/home/krikket/downloads/vcd # rpm -i mjpegtools-1.6.1.90-1.src.rpm warning: user rbultje does not exist - using root linux:/home/krikket/downloads/vcd #
When I do a pin mjpegtools, I can confirm that it's not installed.
Any clues on how to get this rpm installed? (It's not only this rpm, but 3 -- all of which exhibit the same behavior. What can I say? I don't want crippleware installed on my system!)
You try to install the .src.rpm, this is only the sourcecode used to recompile the program. This will not appear in the rpm-database. If you want to see it, have a look in /usr/src/packages/* for it. Look for the binary-rpm. And install this. -- Andreas
