RPM clonflict question

Lemming

And here's another question for today .. I'm determined to keep the linux experts busy

I'm trying to upgrade my libtools version to 1.4.2 (with a view to upgrading ntop to version 2.1.58)

Running rpm -i I get the following:

[root@box dirname]# rpm -i libtool-1.4.2-12.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        libtool-libs = 1.4.2-12 is needed by libtool-1.4.2-12

So I downloaded libtool-libs 1.4.2-12 and attemped the same and got:

[root@box dirname]# rpm -i libtool-libs-1.4.2-12.i386.rpm
file /usr/lib/libltdl.so.3 from install of libtool-libs-1.4.2-12 conflicts with file from package libtool-libs-1.4-8

Attempting an rpm upgrade (-U)/freshen (-F) instead of an install (-i) gets similar results:

[root@box dirname]# rpm -U libtool-libs-1.4.2-12.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        libtool-libs = 1.4-8 is needed by libtool-1.4-8

Anyone got any suggestions?


Oh, forgot - running off an RH 7.3 install

longword

Gotta upgrade both packages at the same time, and you must use upgrade rather than install when replacing a package with a later version of that same package.

rpm -U libtool-libs-1.4.2-12.i386.rpm libtool-1.4.2-12.i386.rpm
