问题
i am trying to install a package using rpm, for which i have created a different database using rpmdb --initdb --dbpath $HOME/myrpmdb and specifying that path in the --dbpath while insatlling.
The error i am getting is
root@jason:su rpm --dbpath $HOME/myrpmdb -ivh XXX.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
/bin/sh is needed by XXX
and /bin/sh exist Is there some way that i can specify this to the installer? Is there something i missed during the creation of different rpm database cause of which now it not able to fine the default commands?
回答1:
Right way install rpm via alien:
alien -i my_rpm_name.rpm
If alien is not installed:
sudo apt-get install alien

This happens because bash rpm is not available in the new rpmdb path. You would have to use following to get the rpm installed.
# rpm --dbpath $HOME/myrpmdb --nodeps -ivh XXX.rpm

Because you've told it to use a completely different database, rpm doesn't look at the system database which is where /bin/sh would be found.
回答4:
Why use a different rpm database? There should be a really good reason to go this route...
If you must have a private rpm db, you can copy the system db into your private one cp /var/lib/rpm/* ~/myrpmdb/.
installing with --nodeps may be the easiest way... copying the rpm db is really sub-optimal, it will soon be out of date and not reflect the state of the system.
