rpm fails to find dependencies

[Marinus]

Hi,

I'm trying to install

msttcorefonts-1.3-4.noarch.rpm

with

root@marinus:~/Desktop/Download# rpm -ivh msttcorefonts-1.3-4.noarch.rpm

but that results in

error: Failed dependencies:
/bin/sh is needed by msttcorefonts-1.3-4
/usr/sbin/chkfontpath is needed by msttcorefonts-1.3-4

/bin/sh exits, is there a way to force that?
I don't have chkfontpath in /usr/sbin, how can I obtain that?

I hope you can help,

thanks a lot!

Marinus.

try this:

rpm -ivh --nodeps msttcorefonts-1.3-4.noarch.rpm

all this tells is to ignore the dependancies

Hi,

thanks for that! About fifteen minutes ago I just gave up and burned all Windows TTF fonts on CD and copied them to Linux.
It works fine, but I'll know what do to next time now.
