rpm fails to install dependencies

[svet_yul]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to install and rpm which fails:

rpm -ivh /var/dist/Acision/DC/tptools-2900-2900_i03_f02_p05.B02.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
/bin/env is needed by tptools-2900-2900_i03_f02_p05.B02.x86_64

I checked the system, /bin/env actually exists....has anyone ever seen this???

Thank you

Svetlana

you can always install and ignore deps if you are sure they are there and OK

just add --nodeps

I can just assume, that the rpmdb of your system is fubar or you try to install a non-suse rpm.

Judging from some search, I think that suse´s coreutils rpm installs env in /usr/bin/env.

Can you please post the output of

rpm -qf /usr/bin/env
rpm -qf /usr/bin

I believe, the latter will show no package.


Did you use
- nodeps
- force
- and/or non-suse rpms before?
Doing so can potentially harm the system and/or screw the rpmdb.


Sorry Coopstah13, but using --nodeps -even if the dependency is in reality there- will not really help.
At the next update, this issue would be back.


Imho, there are two options:
1) Use a rpm made for suse
2) install a dummy rpm to fulfill the dependency in rpmdb, similar to
