Hi list,

I can install the default ppp-2.4.4-2, but when I try to install an rpm I built from Sangoma's ppp-2.4.4.5 (using checkinstall-1.6.1) I get this error:

# rpm -ivh ppp.2.4.4.5-1.eai.i386.rpm

error: Failed dependencies: ppp < 2.4.3-3 conflicts with kernel-2.6.18-162.2.1.el5.i686

Isn't 2.4.4.5 > 2.4.3-3 ???

trying this:

yum localinstall ppp.2.4.4.5-1.eai.i386.rpm --nogpgcheck

gives some advice:

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: package-cleanup --problems package-cleanup --dupes rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

and I tried each of those, but no joy.

Is this an rpm bug, a checkinstall bug, or PEBKAC (problem exists between keyboard and chair)?

Hi Bob,

building RPMs with checkinstall isn't really standard and it will cause problems. Better build from source so you avoid the rpm conflicts or ask someone here to build a proper RPM.
