RE: How to make an existing file exist?

[Scott Stone <SStone@example.com>]

the file existing is not enough to satisfy the dependency, the file has to
be registered in the RPM database.. probably do an rpm -qf on
/usr/lib/libreadline.so.4.1 or whatever, find out what provides THAT file,
and upgrade/reinstall that package.

Subject: How to make an existing file exist?


The rpm command refuses to upgrade to pilot-link-0.9.5-6 because it needs
file libreadline.so.4.

/usr/lib/libreadline.so.4 is a symbolic link to /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4.1
which is 177545 bytes long.

I'd rather not force rpm to ignore dependencies.  I'd rather force rpm to
recognize that dependencies are satisfied.  Anyone know how?

(Red Hat 7.0J plus a number of upgrades.)
