force installation of RPMs

[Heiko Andresen]

I'm struggling around with a (hopefully) small problem. I've setup a Fedora Core 6
system and followed the instructions
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-fedora-livecd/ to build a LiveCD
with livecd-creator, which works perfectly ! 

My problem now is that I have to integrate an RPM which has to be installed with "rpm
-i --nodeps". How do I manage this ? Is there a way to force this in the pkgadd)
section of the configuration file ?

regards,

Ho

it's very disappointing to get no answer to a request. If I did
anything wrong like posting to the wrong mailinglist it would have
been nice to see anybody pointing that out.
I do not want to sound ungrateful. It's just that something is not
working with the communication between user and developer and I'm
wondering what that is.

Hi, Heiko!

I'm sure not the livecd-tools developer. But I guess this silence 
is due to those livecd-tools are discontinued, so that IBM's page 
is rather outdated. Probably, you might wish to address David 
directly. Either you can try to resolve rpm dependences yourself.

In the hope it helps.

Regards,
Vladimir

Not testet but maybe worth a try:

use livecd-creator with the option "--shell". This will drop you into a
chroot after the package installation. Then you could copy your rpm
into the buildroot (eg. /var/tmp/livecd-creator-*/install_root) and
install it with rpm -ivh --nodeps foo.rpm.

Or better: Solve the deps.
