[Shorewall-users] Getting Past Square One (install conflicts)
Neither the archives nor Google knew anything about this weird error
that appeared when I tried to install for the first time on SuSE 7.3:
-----paste
norcomix:~ # rpm --install LATEST.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
kernel <= 2.2 conflicts with shorewall-1.2-13
norcomix:~ # uname -a
Linux norcomix 2.4.10-64GB-SMP #1 SMP Fri Sep 28 17:26:36 GMT 2001 i686
------end-paste
Why does it think my kernel is less than 2.2 ??

"rpm -q kernel" will probably enlighten you and the "--force" option to rpm may be your only recourse to installing the RPM. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Shorewall - iptables made easy AIM: tmeastep \ http://www.shorewall.net ICQ: #60745924 \ teastep@shorewall.net

Why is the LATEST.RPM''s dependency on a kernel later than 2.2 not satisfied by a 2.4 kernel? Is this due to some dependency requirement in the RPM that is fooled by my SMP kernel, or what? norcomix:~ # rpm -q kernel-source kernel-source-2.4.10.SuSE-8 ______________________________________ John Andersen NORCOM / Juneau, Alaska http://www.screenio.com/

Most likely your kernel is called "kernel-smp" or something, so you don''t *have* an RPM called "kernel" installed. Try: rpm -qa | grep kernel --=20 Ben Reed (ben@opennms.org) http://www.opennms.org/ "Is it considered bad form to quote yourself in your sig?" -- Me --=-0FfSKD2rkwxRWLn+/npL Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQA81t/4Uu+jZtP2Zf4RAvlkAJ9+Q3UkREhjr+fTXg0waccKliotSwCfYPUx r+M34kP9o3ESAdOnx1RjpWs=zYvJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-0FfSKD2rkwxRWLn+/npL--

I think If Tom says it will be ok to force that I''ll try that. The box has a working ipchains as the susefirewall appears to work (such as it is). ______________________________________ John Andersen NORCOM / Juneau, Alaska http://www.screenio.com/
