If the more experienced users in the group had a more elegant way to install these updates to get the updater working, I would be interested to hear them. I always hesitate doing an install like this without significant safeguards to protect the system.
Of course. Try apt. It is a command line utility, but all its actions are logged (/var/log/apt) (so it's possible to step back - manually, that is). To install a package and its dependants from a repository: apt install <name of package> to install a rpm file and its dependants: apt install name_of_rpm_file.rpm
When you have a square peg to put in a round hole - get a bigger hammer.
And ruining the peg or the hole? Uh-uh. ;P Cheers, Leen
