Wtf? I Hate Linux Rpm Dependencies!!!!

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -e php-5.0.4-10.5
error: Failed dependencies:
        php = 5.0.4-10.5 is needed by (installed) php-pear-5.0.4-10.5.i386

Code (markup):

Dammit. Ok, let's try this:

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -e php-pear-5.0.4-10.5
error: Failed dependencies:
        php-pear is needed by (installed) php-5.0.4-10.5.i386

Code (markup):

WTF? I can't uninstall the one with uninstalling the other and vice versa? How the hell do I get around this? Now, because of this, I'm stuck half-way uninstalling crap so I can uninstall Apache2 AARG

 

I know - it kills me too.

Have you tried YUM or apt-get? Sometimes they do a great job. Ack - sometimes they do a bad job, so be aware.

What distro are you using?

 

Fedora Core 4. Im trying yum now *fingers crossed*

 

have you tried ???

 

Ya, yum worked like a dream

 

Thank goodness! Sometimes it works like a nightmare... Glad it worked out!

 

BTW, the solution if you had wanted to use RPM was:

rpm -e php-5.0.4-10.5 php-pear

Code (markup):

Easy when you know how eh?

 

Lol, yeah, it would be but as I'm a linux noobie...

 

Debian is great
