[MiNT] New OpenSSL 1.0.0a / OpenSSH 5.5p1 RPMs (basic RPM usage)

[Matt Waller <mw333@hotmail.com>]

Dear List,

I'm failing to use rpm to install OpenSSL.  I don't know anything really about RPM or whether it needs setting up first..

I have downloaded (from http://www.atariforge.net/sparemint/html/packages/openssl-devel.html)

openssl-1.0.0a-1.src.rpm

>rpm --checksig openssl-1.0.0a-1.src.rpm

reports:

openssl-1.0.0a-1.src.rpm: md5 OK

>rpm --install openssl-1.0.0a-1.src.rpm -v -h

returns:

openssl      #####################

I have downloaded:

openssh-5.5p1-2.m68kmint.rpm

>rpm --checksig openssh-5.5p1-2.m68kmint.rpm

reports

openssh-5.5p1-2.m68kmint.rpm: md5 OK

>rpm --install openssh-5.5p1-2.m68kmint.rpm -v -h

reports:

error: failed dependencies:

          openssl >= 1.0.0a is needed by openssh-5.5p1-2

>rpm --version returns

RPM version 3.0.6

Looking in

/usr/lib/ suggests that the first install failed (fairly quietly) as I have no libssl.a present.

Any suggestions?

Matt Waller.
