RedHat5 rpmdb-redhat

Hi,
unless I seem to have missed somthing is it that RedHat 5 has no rpmdb-redhat.
I figured that out since rpm -ivh --aid asdf.rpm is not working, i.e. that any
dependencies are not added.
Could someone help me here?

Thanx in advance
Harro, Smile

Harro,

Why do not you use yum -y install asdf?

Kind regards,

Ok, that works but I copied for testing the contents of the cdroms to my
harddrive and want to install from there. I could configure the yum to use the
local repository, but rpm -ivh --aid would be more my way!

Place all the rpm packages in one local sub-directory (lets say RHEL5) which
does not have and sub-directorires and do;

rpm -ivh createrepo*.rpm
createrepo /RHEL5

Then in the /etc/yum.repos.d directory place a file named something like
RedHat-media.repo which reads like;

[rh5media]
name=Red Hat-$releasever - Media
baseurl=file:///RHEL5
gpgcheck=0
enabled=0

Then you can type stuff like; yum install asdf --enablerepo=rh5media
