Issue
I'd like to install some RPMs via the 'rpm' command similarly to how 'yum install' accomplishes the task.
I've downloaded the RPM and all required dependencies via the command
yum install --downloadonly --downloaddir=. <package>
However when I issue the command
rpm -ivh *.rpm
The RPMs fail to install citing fail dependencies such as the following:
[18:45:05][root][~/test]$ rpm -ivh *
warning: authconfig-6.1.12-13.22.amzn1.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID 21c0f39f: NOKEY

Solution
You should use the -U
flag (upgrade) instead of -i
(install):
rpm -Uvh *.rpm
Reason is that among the packages you downloaded are some already locally installed, though in older versions. Those packages won't get upgraded when using -i
, thus the dependency conflicts about unmet dependencies.
