Hi Doug
Did you try rpm -i --force packagename.rpm?
Whoa whoa whoa.
When yast fails try rpm -ihv. If that fails then try adding --nodeps, and if
that fails then add --force Excuse my ignorance..but I have only been playing with Linux for a year and a half..so please excuse this next question. What package do I do the command rpm -ihv to? I have aaa_base-2001.3.5-1 installed, or so it says when I did the rpm -ihv off the CD. This came from YAST using FTP.
nope Martin, just no go...I used Yast to update all the files in the a1 directory and Yast squawked real bad that grep and sed were not to be found.
Apparently yast needs sed and awk to install things :-)
Apparently :-)
I now have the problem when I try to re-initialize my
firewall script I get the following error message:
Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.2.18/modules.dep
NOW what do I do?
After installing the base rpm with rpm -ihv, as root type the command:
depmod -a
Sed and grep are nowhere to be found still,
Does rpm -qpl show grep and sed to be part of that rpm?
Which rpm package? aaa_base?
parts of my firewall script (that used to work
through data that is needed (yes, the proper allowances in the ip-chains script are still there, just that
messages and I don't seem to be able to connect to the targeted site). In addition, I cannot save the ip-chains
gives screens of errors saying that sed is not
and now perfectly) won't let there are the above error script..ipchains-save there and it just
won't save.
I realize that I removed something I shouldn't have..now has anyone any ideas as to where I can find sed and grep?
We already told you:
jw@suseq:~ > rpm -qf $(which grep) base-2001.1.15-0 jw@suseq:~ > rpm -qf $(which sed) base-2001.1.15-0
These commands return : file base-2001.1.15-0: No such file or directory I also looked for any instance of base-2001* and turned up nothing..would this be a problem?
that means you need to manually install, with rpm, the
base-2001.1.15-0.i368.rpm.
If you can't find it (it should be on CD#1) get it from ftp.suse.com
