sharutils-4.7-6.1.el6.x86_64.rpm for REL 5.5 - can't install

Latest response

Hi,

I have a system with REL 5.5 and need to install a RPM ( sharutils-4.7-6.1.el6.x86_64.rpm and glibc-2.12-1.25.el6_1.3.i686.rpm ).

When I install the rpm (which is for v 6) it states " rpm --install --nosignature sharutils-4.7-6.1.el6.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1 is needed by sharutils-4.7-6.1.el6.x86_64
rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1 is needed by sharutils-4.7-6.1.el6.x86_64

It seems because it's not a REL 6 system. What are my options (can't update to REL 6)

Thanks in advance.

Hi Julio,

Are you in need of that particular version of sharutils?

Can you help me understand which features of the RHEL 6 rpm are not provided by the latest RHEL 5 version (which is sharutils-4.6.1-2.x86_64.rpm)?

Best regards,
Mark

Mark, at some point "cat /etc/hosts | uuencode hosts.txt | mail john" produced a nice email attachement in my Outlook mailbox.
Then, I received the Uuencoded data within the email itself, and no attachment. When did this change and can we expect to see this fixed, or is it some other reason this fails now?

When you did not change anything, the Exchange admins probably did. When they cannot help you, you could consider adding MIME encoding of the email.

you can not install a package which is not built for the major version. You need to search for rhel 5.5 package.
