Hi All,
I am trying to install amanda-backup_client-2.6.1p2-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm
on an RHEL 5 64-bit system. But I get an error as follows:
# rpm -ivh --test amanda-backup_client-2.6.1p2-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libtermcap.so.2 is needed by amanda-backup_client-2.6.1p2-1.rhel5.x86_64
The libtermcap-devel-2.0.8-46.1.x86_64.rpm package which contains the
libtermcap.so.2 has already been installed. Still the problem is
observed. Can you kindly suggest any solution or workaround to this
problem ?
I checked the archives for a similar question. But the suggestions given
there didn't work for me.
Did you try "yum localinstall
amanda-backup_client-2.6.1p2-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm" instead? This will
automatically resolve any dependencies.
Could be an architecture issue -- maybe you have i386 versions of the
termcap libraries installed by accident.
Or (more likely) the OP has *only* the i386 (or only the x86_64)
versions of the termcap libraries, when he should have both the i386
AND the x86_64 versions:
sauron.deepsoft.com% rpm -q --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n" libtermcap
libtermcap-2.0.8-46.1.x86_64
libtermcap-2.0.8-46.1.i386
One should not need the -devel versions unless one is building
something.
