Hi all,
Yesterday I downloaded junkbuster-2.0.2-8.i386.rpm and tried to install it using
$ rpm -Uvh junkbuster-2.0.2-8.i386.rpm
The command returned failed dependancies asking for chkconfig However chkconfig is already installed on my system ..
$ whereis chkconfig chkconfig /sbin/chkconfig
No man page is available for chkconfig ..
What cud be the problem ?
TIA,
Warm Regards, $ sonpal -kj

Does it say what version of chkconfig is required? try rpm -q chkconfig to find out what version you have.
chkconfig sets startup properties for scripts in /etc/rc.d/initd. You can do this manually if there is a problem, so if there are no other dependencies, just add a --nodeps to the rpm command for installing.

No, it just says that chkconfig is requried .. (I forgot exact error message. As of now i'm working under Win98)
try rpm -q chkconfig to find out what version you have.
The abovementioned command returns : chkconfig is not installed on the system
However it is already installed on my system. As mentioned earlier, my system has a file called /sbin/chkconfig. Why rpm is not being able to find chkconfig?

Ok, I tried it out .. Worked perfectly !
BTW, how can I find abt the dependancies before downloading from rpmfind.net? Or is there some other way to do it?
Also, where can I find more details regarding chkconfig? There are no man pages for chkconfig on my system.
Sorry for asking too many questions in one mail. Thanks a lot.

It may not be installed using rpm.

every rpm's page has a list of dependencies and provides. You've got to check your system to make sure everything that is required is present, and what is provided does not clash with something alread installed.

Try "rpm -qif /sbin/chkconfig"

Another thing - is chkconfig installed as an rpm?

I don't think so, as when I typed $ rpm -q chkconfig
The reply was .. chkconfig is not installed
However there is /sbin/chkconfig file on my system. I think this is the reason why rpm is not finding chkconfig .. I think while the system was being installed by YaST, it might have been installed by some other way.
