installing many packages at once

External Since: May 04, 2004 Posts: 4

I am trying to install several packages that depend on each other. So,
for example, I am trying to install pkg1.rpm and pkg2.rpm. However when
I attempt to install pkg1 it complains that it needs pkg2, and when I
try pkg2, it complains that it needs pkg1.

When I try to use the --force option, I get the same conplaint. How do
I get around this problem?
