Do we need this crap on LWN?Do we need this crap on LWN?Posted Feb 22, 2007 0:55 UTC (Thu) by mrons (subscriber, #1751)In reply to: Do we need this crap on LWN? by mrons Parent article: ESR's goodbye note
> yum localinstall somerandom.rpm
Just to expand on what this does, yum looks at what dependencies somerandom.rpm has and installs those with somerandom.rpm
somerandom.rpm does not have to belong to some {un}official repository.
So it's like "rpm -i" except that repositories are consulting to resolve dependencies.
Can I do something like "apt-get somerandom.deb" and have dependencies resolved for me?

if you
dpkg -i some.deb
that will try to install it, but it wont configure due to missing dependencies.
and
apt-get install -f
will then fix it as it will resolve the missing dependencies and configure everything.
