Shorewall users - Dec 2004 - Shorewall rpm failed dependency: iproute (ip is working)

Hi David

Try to install with --nodeps parm of rpm because mandrake has iproute2
package(You used ip executable) or install shorewall v 2.0.8 from mandrake
distribution.

Hello Shorewall gurus, as outlined on the shorewall site I have done the
following after failure to install shorewall via the rpm:

I have read all of the FAQ.
I have read the quickstart guide with particular attention directed at
the Mandrake solution.
I have searched the mailing list archives (all old replies).
I have studied the documentation index.
I have previous experience using shorewall the past four years:
currently running 1.4 under RH7.2 (perfect no problems).

I am building a new server:
OS: Mandrake 10.1
Shorewall version: 2.0.13-1

ip addr show
1: lo: mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue 
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 brd 127.255.255.255 scope host lo
inet6 ::1/128 scope host 
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eth0: mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
link/ether 00:0b:cd:e7:f7:93 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 192.168.1.4/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global eth0
inet6 fe80::20b:cdff:fee7:f793/64 scope link 
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
3: sit0: mtu 1480 qdisc noop 
link/sit 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0
> ip route show
192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.4 
default via 192.168.1.1 dev eth0

The returned error condition follows from this command line:

# rpm -i shorewall-2.0.13-1.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
iproute is needed by shorewall-2.0.13-1

Mandrake is installed without X and I am not using the MNF.
I am hoping for an install similar to what I have on the RH box
described above: iptables and shorewall.

Please advise, David.

In other words, you did everything but read the installation
instructions (http://shorewall.net/Install.htm) or search for "error:
Failed dependencies:" using the Quick search at the top of the Shorewall
home page.

Tom,

I''ve been having this problem here for a long time now.  The problem is
that, in my distribution, apt says there is no package iproute, only 
iproute2 that obsoletes the previous one:
apt> show iproute2
Package: iproute2
Section: Networking
Maintainer: Conectiva S.A. <security@conectiva.com.br>
[...]
Provides: iproute2 (= 2.4.7-24650cl)
Obsoletes: iproute (<= 2.2.4-8cl)
[...]

and because of this, since version 1.4.0 I don''t install shorewall
anymore
via RPM.  I don''t like using --nodeps because later apt will reclaim
about
inconsistencies in my RPM db.

Is there a clever solution and I need a big brown bag?  Or should I change 
my distribution?

cheers,

I suppose that you could volunteer to maintain an RPM taylored to your
particular distribution.

Note that it''s not that hard -- about all you would have to do is
maintain your own ''shorewall.spec'' file and when I release a
new
version, you just grab the tarball and generate a .rpm from it using
your .spec rather than mine.

It would be a real service to the Shorewall community if we could get
volunteers to do this for Distributions such as Mandrake where my RPMs
don''t install cleanly (my RPM doesn''t place the documentation
in the
correct place under RedHat so even a RedHat-specific RPM would be
appropriate).

Have you tried urpmi shorewall? Using Mandrake''s tools instead of
trying
to work around them is generally advised.

ok, I''ll try to figure it out (RPMs, you know, I never mangled with
them
before) during... the next holidays.  any directions to some good reading 
material?

Happy New Year for all!

Hi Tom,

I already have a RedHat/Fedora specific shorewall rpm. I''ll change it
to
include support for the new beta releases. I hope to do it later today...

Everything I know about creating RPMs, I learned by reading at rpm.org.

BTW -- I already have a volunteer for Mandrake.
