[LUGSB] Problem with RPM

Sat Nov 22 17:24:18 EST 2003

I tried to install imlib2 to my computer. I downloaded
the following rpms:

imlib2-1.1.0-1.i386.rpm
imlib2-loader_argb-1.1.0-1.i386.rpm
imlib2-loader_jpeg-1.1.0-1.i386.rpm
imlib2-loader_png-1.1.0-1.i386.rpm

Then I did the following:

[yi at localhost yi]$ rpm -i imlib2-1.1.0-1.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        imlib2-loader_jpeg = 1.1.0 is needed by
imlib2-1.1.0-1
        imlib2-loader_png = 1.1.0 is needed by
imlib2-1.1.0-1
        imlib2-loader_argb = 1.1.0 is needed by
imlib2-1.1.0-1

Then I tried to install each individual file and
received this message from the system:
[yi at localhost yi]$ rpm -i
imlib2-loader_argb-1.1.0-1.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        libImlib2.so.1 is needed by
imlib2-loader_argb-1.1.0-1

Same thing happened when I tried to install other 2
loaders. Then I surfed the web and found that
libImlib2.so.1 is included in the package
imlib2-1.1.0-1.i386.rpm.

Hence I assumed the rpm has to load all 4 files at the
same time. Therefore I did this:

[yi at localhost yi]$ rpm -i imlib2-1.1.0-1.i386.rpm
imlib2-loader_jpeg-1.1.0-1.i386.rpm
imlib2-loader_png-1.1.0-1.i386.rpm
imlib2-loader_argb-1.1.0-1.i386.rpm
error: cannot get exclusive lock on
/var/lib/rpm/Packages
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 -
Operation not permitted (1)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm

Now I am stuck. If somebody could point out what I did
wrong that would be great.

If you need to install 4 RPMS that depend on each other what the command
line has to have them all together:

# rpm -i imlib2-1.1.0-1.i386.rpm imlib2-loader_argb-1.1.0-1.i386.rpm
(add the rest here)

I prefer
# rpm -ivh imlib2*.i386.rpm

The imlib2*.i386.rpm is the same as listing each individually, but is
more convenient.  The -v option will list which RPM it is working on and
-h will print out percentages.
