[opensuse] 10.3 rpm version problem?
Hello all. Experimenting with a new kernel, trying to see if it solves some strange network problems and lockups. Downloaded kernel-source-2.6.25.4-14.1.x86_64.rpm and ran into sudo rpm -ivh kernel-source-2.6.25.4-14.1.x86_64.rpm warning: kernel-source-2.6.25.4-14.1.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID a29f6635 error: Failed dependencies: rpmlib(PayloadIsLzma) <= 4.4.2-1 is needed by kernel-source-2.6.25.4-14.1.x86_64 On Sat.

Update rpm. We switched to compressing the rpm payload with lzma because that yields noticeable better compression.
So.... $ rpm -qa | grep rpm deltarpm-3.4-36 rpm-4.4.2-140 rpm-devel-4.4.2-140 And when I last checked with 'zypper se rpm' earlier this week, it seems that I'm up to date on those packages. Note also the '<= 4.4.2-1' part in the error message. I don't see an 'rpmlib' package in the output of 'zypper se', and 'locate rpmlib' only shows me /usr/include/rpm/rpmlib.h. The string 'Lzma' does not appear to be in the rpm manpage. Confused: should I upgrade, downgrade, sideways? Thanks.

the RPM version shipped with 10.3 does not support LZMA payload. -- "Progress is possible only if we train ourselves to think about programs without thinking of them as pieces of executable code.” - Edsger W.

Ok, fair enough. But then how would I install a KOTD kernel on a 10.3 system? Thanks. Michael -- Michael Fischer michael@visv.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Good question. Maybe you should open a bugzilla. Either the KOTD should not use lzma, except if it is intended for factory only, or they should provide an updated rpm for this usage. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Sorry, I thought there was an updated rpm available. But try the rpm package from Coolo's OBS project, it has lzma support. Simply go to http://software.opensuse.org/search and search for rpm for openSUSE 10.3. The second hit listed is home:coolo/openSUSE_10.3.
