I've just installed RedHat 8.0 and downloaded the new up2date~3.0.7.2 rpms from RedHat.
When I try to install it I get a message saying that it needs up2date-gnome-3.0.7-1.
So I downloaded that, but it says it's already installed. Not sure where to go from here. Any help appreciated...
Thanks.

rpm -q up2date
rpm -Uv /Path-to-RPM/up2date~3.0.7.2.rpm # whatever the package name is)

rpm -q up2date-gnome

here's what I get when running the 3.0.7-1
[root]# rpm -Fvh up2date-gnome-3.0.7-1.i386.rpm
warning: up2date-gnome-3.0.7-1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e

I cannot find and up2date that is just 3.0.7.2

Thanks for your help
 
my estimation is this where rpm is being a little overprotective of its stores...

Try :
# rpm -Fvh up2date-[complete-with-tab] --nodeps --force
THEN
# rpm -Fvm up2date-gnome[complete-with-tab]

[complete-with-tab] means, of course, hit the right tab while in the directory where the file (in this case the .rpm) resides to complete the name.

regards johnny
