Problem installing rpm

English Applications
#1

Hi All,
I’m having a problem installing an rpm.
When I right-click on the rpm and choose Package Installer, I get the message
'Can’t provide file ‘./suse/x86_64/terminfo-base-5.6-83.1.x86_64.rpm’ from repository ‘openSUSE-retail 11.0’

How do i resolve this problem?

With Regards
Nibiran

install via cli, it’s very easy. If you get stuck, man rpm will help

:slight_smile: in other words… go to konsole and as root do

rpm -ivh filename.rpm

afterwards konsole will tell you which are missing dependencies (usually libraries you need to install before you install your program). Then try to search for them via yast->software management and install them.

Better use zypper. It solves dependencies automatically.

sudo zypper in file.rpm
