Can rpm handle an install of another OS into another Logical Volume
I am trying to install fedora as a domU under a CentOS dom0 using the method outlined in The Book of Xen, http://www.lvcanadaoutletstore.com/ - louis vuitton bags . I have asked another question regarding a consistent error message of cpio: Bad magic when I try to run the rpm command on a fedora-release-15, http://www.lvcanadaoutletstore.com/ - louis vuitton outlet .1 rpm. That tutorial actually goes through an install of CentOS 5.2 into the logical volume. If I run wget on a similar CentOS install rpm then run the rpm -i command (as outlined) it works fine, http://www.lvcanadaoutletstore.com/ - louis vuitton canada .
So what is it about rpm and fedora under CentOS 5.6 that would cause an issue? running the --test option returns the following:
What do these failed dependencies mean? Is it even possible to do what I am trying to do (install fedora on a separate LV in an active CentOS system)? Is it possible to update these dependencies in my system? or is it time to call it quits on this particular path, http://www.lvcanadaoutletstore.com/ - www.lvcanadaoutletstore.com .
Using the rpm tool manually, you will not be able to install an individual package like that to a new location. Every package will have dependencies on other packages, and rpm will refuse to procede until all those dependencies are met. With a blank directory like that, you will need at least a minimum set of packages that make up a complete system.
In order to procede, you will need to add enough packages to your command line to satisfy these dependencies. Instead of doing one package at a time, you will put together an RPM command with a whole series of packages on it.
This is where upper level package managers like yum come into play, http://www.lvcanadaoutletstore.com/ - lv bags . They dig through the rpm meta data finding dependencies, download those files, and add them to the chain of rpm commands.
I don't know about yum, but the upper level rpm package manger I use is able to do a target install like this and take care of the dependencies behind the scenes. You might look for an "instll-dist" or "root" type argument to yum and use that instead of rpm directly.Related articles:
