Juju : Prelude RPM Dependencies Suck

Prelude RPM Dependencies Suck

Posted by Tony Buser Sat, 22 Feb 2003 02:43:05 GMT

I'm running Mandrake 9.0 on my firewall at home and I remember it installed Prelude by default. I always figured I'd check it out later and left it running figuring it wouldn't hurt anything. I like snort and use it at work so I figured I'd just get rid of prelude. So I went to uninstall it and this is what I got:

[root@gr0k bin]# rpm -e prelude
error: removing these packages would break dependencies:
        prelude = 0.4.2-7mdk is needed by prelude-report-0.4.2-7mdk
[root@gr0k bin]# rpm -e prelude-report
error: removing these packages would break dependencies:
        prelude-report = 0.4.2-7mdk is needed by prelude-0.4.2-7mdk

Uhmmm... huh? It's times like these I really miss debian.
