Linux 2.4.21-20.EL #1 Wed Aug 18 20:58:25 EDT 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Looks like these two packages depend upon each other. How can I get the
'dead lock' resolved? Another question. For RHEL, is it possible to
get dependency issues handled automatically rather than manually? I'm a
linux newbie. Every time I got failed dependencies errors, I just
manually got those dependent packages installed. I'm thinking there
must be a better way to handle this.

[root@host rhel3]# rpm -Uvh /home/me/rhel3/mysql-3.23.58-1.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
perl-DBD-MySQL is needed by mysql-3.23.58-1
Suggested resolutions:
perl-DBD-MySQL-2.1021-3.i386.rpm

[root@host rhel3]# rpm -Uvh /home/me/rhel3/perl-DBD-MySQL-2.1021-3.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libmysqlclient.so.10 is needed by perl-DBD-MySQL-2.1021-3
Suggested resolutions:
mysql-3.23.58-1.i386.rpm

Thanks in advance for any help,

Bing

Hi Bing,

For the first question, try to do them both at the same time:

cd /home/me/rhel3
rpm -Uvh mysql-3.23.58-1.i386.rpm perl-DBD-MySQL-2.1021-3.i386.rpm

Good luck,

Steve
