Hi,
I have this annoying problem, when trying to install
utils-2.1.22.rpm
---
cirmos, root:/lib/# rpm -Uvh /zips/rpms/ax25-utils-2.1.22-1.i386.rpm
failed dependencies:
        libncurses.so.2.0 is needed by ax25-utils-2.1.22-1
---
cirmos, root:~/# ff libncurses.so.2.*
/usr/lib/libncurses.so.2.0
---
cirmos, root:~/# ldconfig
---
cirmos, root:/lib/# rpm -qv ncurses
ncurses-1.9.9e-3
---
cirmos, root:/lib/# rpm --verify -V ncurses
cirmos, root:/lib/# 
---
Tried the --force switch, it makes no difference.

As the last desperate attempt, tried this:

---
cirmos, root:/lib/# rpm -Uvh --nodep
/zips/rpms/ax25-utils-2.1.22-1.i386.rpm

The kernel is v2.0.29 patched with module-12. Why must I use the --nodep switch? Any helpful suggesion appreciated. 73, George ve7ciz
