I wanted to install fvwm95, but I wasn't sure
where to find it. So I installed rpmfind (and
rpm2html) and it worked as expected...
============
[root@pancake DIST]# rpmfind fvwm95
Updating the distribution list
Get http://rufus.w3.org/linux/RDF//resources/distribs/list.rdf
bad option 'bzip2bin' at /usr/lib/rpmrc:12
bad option 'instchangelog' at /usr/lib/rpmrc:16
Arch : i586, Os : Linux
Default distribution : Red Hat Software(Manhattan )
owning 298 of 327 installed packages
Get http://rufus.w3.org/linux/RDF//resources/fvwm95.rdf
Get
http://rufus.w3.org/linux/RDF//redhat/4.2/i386/fvwm95-2.0.42a-6.i386.rdf
Installing fvwm95 will require 798 KBytes
### To Transfer:
Updating the distribution info for [redhat/4.2/i386]
Get
http://rufus.w3.org/linux/RDF//resources/distribs/redhat_4.2_i386.rdf
ftp://rufus.w3.org/linux/redhat/redhat-4.2/i386/RedHat/RPMS/fvwm95-2.0.42a-6.i386.rpm
Do you want to download these files to /tmp [Y/n/a] ? :
Y
Download fvwm95-2.0.42a-6.i386.rpm [Y/n/a/M/?] :Y
transfering
ftp://rufus.w3.org/linux/redhat/redhat-4.2/i386/RedHat/RPMS/fvwm95-2.0.42a-6.i386.rpm
saving to /tmp/fvwm95-2.0.42a-6.i386.rpm
==================
Cool! But then...
===========
[root@pancake DIST]# mv /tmp/fvwm95-2.0.42a-6.i386.rpm .
[root@pancake DIST]# rpm -i fvwm95-2.0.42a-6.i386.rpm
failed dependencies:
fvwm95-icons is needed by fvwm95-2.0.42a-6
============
So... what happened?
more diagnostic info, in case it's useful:
