Appendix A. Upgrading Your Current System

A.6.1. Unresolved Dependencies

If any package requires another package which you have not selected to install, the program presents a

list of these unresolved dependencies and gives you the opportunity to resolve them (see Figure A 7).

The Unresolved Dependencies screen appears only if you are missing packages that are needed by

your customized package selection.

At the bottom of the screen, under the list of missing packages, an Install packages to satisfy de 

pendencies radio button is selected by default. If you leave this checked, the installation program will

resolve package dependencies automatically by adding all required packages to the list of selected

packages.

Figure A 7. Unresolved Dependencies

If you do not wish to install packages that require other packages, select Do not install packages that

have dependencies.

To install only the packages you have selected and leave the dependencies unresolved, select Ignore

package dependencies.

Tip

To install or remove packages after you have completed the installation, use the Package Manage 

ment Tool.

Type the redhat config packages command in a shell prompt to launch the Package Management

Tool. If you are not root, it will prompt you for the root password to continue.

A.7. Upgrading Packages

At this point there is nothing left for you to do until all the packages have been upgraded or installed

(see Figure A 8).
