[rpm] doesn't find existing dependecy package

[Alessandro Ilardo]

Hi there,
I'm using Suse 10.2 and I'm trying to install this package
pptpconfig-20060821-1suse.noarch.rpm

It keeps asking me dependencies which already are in system, but aparently cannot find.

Dependencied installed:

And when I try to install it using the command line I get

rpm --install pptpconfig-20060821-1suse.noarch.rpm
warning: pptpconfig-20060821-1suse.noarch.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 862acc42
error: Failed dependencies:
/bin/php4-pcntl is needed by pptpconfig-20060821-1suse.noarch
php4-pcntl >= 4.3.9-2 is needed by pptpconfig-20060821-1suse.noarch
php4-pcntl-gtk is needed by pptpconfig-20060821-1suse.noarch

How do I specify where the dependencies are?
Thanks in advance

I'm not familiar with these specific packages, but I'm not sure you do have the prerequisites. For example, RPM wants /bin/php4-pcntl, you have /bin/php-pcntl. The "4" suggests that these are two separate programs. If you say

rpm -q | grep php

what do you see? Do you see packages php4-pcntl and php4-pcntl-gtk, with adequate version numbers? You may need to seek these out and install them.

I'm trying to install the pptp client configuration tool.

This is the out put
php-pcntl-4.4.0-1
apache2-mod_php5-5.1.2-29.25.3
php5-5.1.2-29.25.3
php5-mysql-5.1.2-29.25.3
php-gtk-pcntl-1.0.2-1
php5-mysqli-5.1.2-29.25.3

So, you need the packages php4-pcntl and php4-pcntl-gtk, which you don't have. Alternately, maybe there's a newer version of pptpconfig which uses the php5 packages you already have.
