Topic: securemail won't work

[Chris]

HI @ all

I tried to install secure mail since 5 Day's and it won't work!!

The packages are from :http://www.watson-trant.homeunix.net/downloads/e-smith/securemail/

Now my problem :

[root@webserver tmp]# rpm -Uhv e-smith-packetfilter-1.8.1-01.src.rpm
   1:e-smith-packetfilter   ########################################### [100%]
[root@webserver tmp]# rpm -Uhv e-smith-imaps-0.0.3-1dc.noarch.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        e-smith-packetfilter <= 1.8.1 is needed by e-smith-imaps-0.0.3-1dc
???????

Is the Version of rpm -Uhv e-smith-packetfilter-1.8.1-01.src.rpm different ??

THX Chris

1. e-smith-packetfilter-1.8.1-01.src.rpm is a source rpm. You need the 'noarch' rpm

2. What version of SME are you running? The secure mail package you are trying to install will not work on 5.6 and the version for 6 has not been released yet.

3. You should get your contribs from the developer, try going to http://www.pagefault.org/ for the latest version of the secure mail contrib.

My Version is 5.6

I use this version from  : http://www.pagefault.org/code/e-smith.shtml#securemail

Comment :
In the downloads section there are alternate files for e-smith-ssmtp, e-smith-pop3s and e-smith-imaps that are desgined for sme 5.6

If  I try to install this 3 package I got this Message:

[lampp321@webserver tmp]# rpm -ihv e-smith-imaps-sme5.6-0.0.3-1dc.noarch.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        e-smith-packetfilter >= 1.12.0 is needed by e-smith-imaps-sme5.6-0.0.3-1dc

But I can't find e-smithfilter in the version 1.12.0

From pagefault.org

"The release version of sme 5.6 includes an older version of e-smith packet filter than the final beta so you can safely use --nodeps with rpm to overcome this."

Your command should be:
rpm -Uhv --nodeps e-smith-imaps-sme5.6-0.0.3-1dc.noarch.rpm
