<p align="left">Some users have reported problems installing the RPM
|
|
|
|
|
|
on SuSE 7.3 where rpm reports a conflict with kernel <= 2.2 even
|
|
|
|
|
|
though a 2.4 kernel RPM is installed. To get around this problem,
|
|
|
|
|
|
use the --nodeps option to rpm (e.g., "rpm -ivh --nodeps
|
|
|
|
|
|
shorewall-1.2-13.noarch.rpm").<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
The problem stems from the fact that SuSE does not include
|
|
|
|
|
|
a package named "kernel" but rather has a number of packages that
|
|
|
|
|
|
provide the virtual package "kernel". Since virtual packages have
|
|
|
|
|
|
no version associated with them, a conflict results. Since the
|
|
|
|
|
|
workaround is simple, I don't intend to change the Shorewall package.</p>
