For SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, the dependent RPM files are captured in the following directory:
/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/supportRPMS/SUSE9_x86_64
For instance, in the RH4_x86_64 subdirectory, execute the following command to install or update all the dependent RPM files:
rpm –Uvh /srvadmin/linux/RPMS/supportRPMS/RH4_x86_64
You will then be able to continue with the Server Administrator installation.
Why am I getting a warning concerning the RPM package key during installation?
The RPM files are signed with a digital signature. To avoid this warning, you should mount the CD or package, and import the key using a command such as
the following:
rpm --import /mnt/cdrom/srvadmin/linux/RPM-GPG-KEY
Why is the Prerequisite Checker not available under Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server?
The Prerequisite Checker is built into the omilcore RPM package. The checker uses a combination of RPM dependency checks and Dell hardware checks.
