[opensuse] RPM dependencies
I just tried installing a package on my version of Linux (SLES 9) - I got the following result: rpm -i sysstat-5.0.1-35.1.i586.rpm error: Failed dependencies: gnuplot is needed by sysstat-5.0.1-35.1 Is there a command (except for rpm -i), to check for dependencies before I try to install a package ?

If you just want to test if a rpm is installable, use: rpm -U --test <rpmfile> Cheers, Michael. -- Michael Schroeder mls@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF Markus Rex, HRB 16746 AG Nuernberg main(_){while(_=~getchar())putchar(~_-1/(~(_|32)/13*2-11)*13);} -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Is there a command (except for rpm -i), to check for dependencies before I try to install a package ?
Dirk
Try this: rpm --whatrequires 'name-of-the-package' Also, the commands: rpm --help info rpm will bring better information. Kind regards -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
