warning: tree-1.7.0-3.{PKGOS}.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID 431d51: NOKEY
See xref:RPM.adoc#s1-check-rpm-sig[Checking Package Signatures] for more information on checking package signatures.
Replacing Already-Installed Packages
indexterm:[RPM,already installed]indexterm:[packages,RPM,already installed] If a package of the same name and version is already installed, the following output is displayed:
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
package tree-1.7.0-3.{PKGOS}.x86_64 is already installed
To install the package anyway, use the [option]`--replacepkgs` option, which tells [application]*RPM* to ignore the error:
~]#{nbsp}rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs tree-1.7.0-3.{PKGOS}.x86_64.rpm
This option is helpful if files installed from the package were deleted or if you want the original configuration files to be installed.
If you attempt an upgrade to an *older* version of a package (that is, if a newer version of the package is already installed), [application]*RPM* informs you that a newer version is already installed. To force [application]*RPM* to perform the downgrade, use the [command]#--oldpackage# option:
rpm -Uvh --oldpackage older_package.rpm
Resolving File Conflicts
indexterm:[RPM,file conflicts,resolving]indexterm:[RPM,conflicts]indexterm:[packages,RPM,conflict] If you attempt to install a package that contains a file that has already been installed by another package, a conflict message is displayed. To make [application]*RPM* ignore this error, use the [command]#--replacefiles# option:
[command]#rpm -Uvh --replacefiles _package.rpm_pass:attributes[{blank}]#
Satisfying Unresolved Dependencies
indexterm:[RPM,dependencies]indexterm:[packages,dependencies]indexterm:[RPM,failed dependencies]indexterm:[packages,RPM,failed dependencies] [application]*RPM* packages sometimes depend on other packages, which means that they require other packages to be installed to run properly. If you try to install a package that has an unresolved dependency, a message about a failed dependency is displayed.
Find the suggested package(s) on the {MAJOROS} installation media or on one of the active {MAJOROS} mirrors and add it to the installation command. To determine which package contains the required file, use the [option]`--whatprovides` option:
rpm -q --whatprovides "required_file"
If the package that contains _required_file_ is in the [application]*RPM* database, the name of the package is displayed.
Warning
Although you can *force* [command]#rpm# to install a package that has an unresolved dependency (using the [option]`--nodeps` option), this is *not* recommended and will usually result in the installed software failing to run. Installing packages with [option]`--nodeps` can cause applications to misbehave or terminate unexpectedly. It can also cause serious package-management problems or system failure. For these reasons, heed the warnings about missing dependencies. The [application]*DNF* package manager performs automatic dependency resolution and fetches dependencies from on-line repositories.
Preserving Changes in Configuration Files
indexterm:[RPM,configuration file changes]indexterm:[packages,RPM,configuration file changes]indexterm:[RPM,configuration file changes,conf.rpmsave] Because [application]*RPM* performs intelligent upgrading of packages with configuration files, you may see the following message:
saving pass:quotes[_/etc/configuration_file.conf_] as pass:quotes[_/etc/configuration_file.conf_].rpmsave
This message means that the changes you made to the configuration file may not be *forward-compatible* with the new configuration file in the package, so [application]*RPM* saved your original file and installed a new one. You should investigate the differences between the two configuration files and resolve them as soon as possible to ensure that your system continues to function properly.
Alternatively, [application]*RPM* may save the package's *new* configuration file as, for example, `pass:attributes[{blank}]_configuration_file.conf_.rpmnew` and leave the configuration file you modified untouched. You should still resolve any conflicts between your modified configuration file and the new one, usually by merging changes from the old one to the new one, for example using the [command]#diff# program.
Uninstalling Packages
indexterm:[RPM,uninstalling]indexterm:[packages,removing]indexterm:[packages,RPM,uninstalling]indexterm:[packages,RPM,removing] Uninstalling a package is just as simple as installing one. Type the following command at a shell prompt as `root`:
[command]#rpm -e _package_pass:attributes[{blank}]#
rpm -e and package name errors
Note that the command expects only the package *name*, not the name of the original package *file*. If you attempt to uninstall a package using the [command]#rpm{nbsp}-e# command and provide the original full file name, you receive a package-name error.
You can encounter dependency errors when uninstalling a package if another installed package depends on the one you are trying to remove. For example:
