Author rpm says failed dep but file exists
Andrew

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone can help me with a little problem I am having
installing seahorse a gnome gnupg front end.

When I try to install with

rpm -ivh seahorse*.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libgpgme.so.6 is needed by seahorse-0.7.3-1
but if i look in /usr/local/lib the file exists

Does RPM fail because pgpme was installed from source?
Can i tell RPM it does exist?

Andrew with thanks

Andrew,


You can give the --nodeps option with rpm. Source installations can 'fool'
rpm.

For rpm it is not relevant if libs are anywhere on your system but that
they are registred in the rpm database. So if you are sure you have the
correct libs installed which seahorse rpm requires you can do a --nodeps
install as Jan Gerrit said.
