Title: Custom ISO & RPM
Post by: gbl on October 08, 2003, 02:18:46 PM

I have serveral RPM´s that can´t installed during the "normal" Setup Process (I meen the comps file) becaus they have to installed with --nodeps option.

Well, how can I install this RPM´s after the Setup Process within a script?

I hope this description is clear.

If the RPMs require the --nodeps flag to install in the normal course of operation, they're broken.  Have you considered fixing them, rather than trying to work around their brokenness?

No, I does´nt try to fix it.

I use Contribs from this Page and other (eg. ENEO, ...).

Hi guetner,

I might help if you NAME one of the rpm's that you cannot install.

I totally agree with Dan Brown that -nodeps doesn't help but most likely does damage.

Ex.: If you try to install "gallery" according to Dan's HowTo you will find that some rpm's are no longer to be found on the usual servers. Installing with -nodeps will not result in a working contrib since those parts are vital.

Asking here and naming the contrib might even give you direct leads to the missing parts ;-) - by the author !
