RE: [xml] Installation question

["Jeff Chen" <jchen vespernetworks com>]

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the quick response.  I tried your suggestion and hit another snag.
One step forward, two steps back...


[root slapshot downloads]# rpm -U libxml2-2.5.8-1.i386.rpm
libxml2-devel-2.5.8-1.i386.rpm
warning: libxml2-2.5.8-1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID de95bc1f
error: Failed dependencies:
        libxml2 = 2.5.4 is needed by (installed) libxml2-python-2.5.4-1

[root slapshot downloads]# rpm -q libxml2-2.5.4
libxml2-2.5.4-1

[root slapshot downloads]# rpm -q libxml2-python-2.5.4-1
libxml2-python-2.5.4-1

I tried to remedy this with

rpm -i --force libxml2-2.5.4-1.i386.rpm libxml2-devel-2.5.4-1.i386.rpm
rpm -U libxml2-2.5.8-1.i386.rpm libxml2-devel-2.5.8-1.i386.rpm

But I still get the same complain about failed dependencies.  Any suggestions?
Also, should I install lib{xml2,xslt}-python also?
