The way to break out of the loop is to ignore the bogus dependency of dlm-devel on dlm (you need dlm-devel to build code which depends on dlm headers and libraries. You *don't* need to be running a distributed lock manager on every compile server). Install dlm-devel using --nodeps. I've already tried and failed to convince RedHat that their pattern of having xxx-devel packages require xxx is wrong. > bash-3.00$ sudo rpm -Uhv /tmp/dlm-devel-1.4.0.8-20050705200822.i386.rpm > error: Failed dependencies: > dlm = 1.4.0.8-20050705200822 is needed by > dlm-devel-1.4.0.8-20050705200822.i386 > bash-3.00$ I suspect this dependency is bogus as well: > bash-3.00$ sudo rpm -Uhv /tmp/cman-1.0.1-0.i386.rpm > /tmp/ccs-1.0.1-20050705200822.i386.rpm > error: Failed dependencies: > magma-plugins is needed by ccs-1.0.1-20050705200822.i386 > bash-3.00$ --- Charlie
