Error: Failed dependencies while downgrading libcurl

I'm trying to downgrade my libcurl version from 7.54.0 to 7.52.1 in Linux Red Hat 6.

I run:

[root@fossa yhchai]# sudo rpm -Uvh http://nervion.us.es/city-fan/yum-repo/rhel6/x86_64/curl-7.52.1-1.0.cf.rhel6.x86_64.rpm

and it gives me a fail dependencies error: 

Retrieving http://nervion.us.es/city-fan/yum-repo/rhel6/x86_64/curl-7.52.1-1.0.cf.rhel6.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        libcurl(x86-64) = 7.52.1-1.0.cf.rhel6 is needed by curl-7.52.1-1.0.cf.rhel6.x86_64

Appreciate if you guys could provide some enlightenment and solution for this, thank you.

Solution

  • You have to downgrade both (curl and libcurl) packages. If you have more dependencies, you have to downgrade them too. Here are a couple of options how to do it:

    If you have yum installed, then do,

     ~]# yum downgrade curl libcurl

    OR

     ~]# yum downgrade curl-7.52.1-1.0.cf.rhel6 libcurl-7.52.1-1.0.cf.rhel6

    OR

    first download the two packages to a directory mydir,

    ~]# cd mydir
~]# wget http://nervion.us.es/city-fan/yum-repo/rhel6/x86_64/curl-7.52.1-1.0.cf.rhel6.x86_64.rpm
~]# wget http://nervion.us.es/city-fan/yum-repo/rhel6/x86_64/libcurl-7.52.1-1.0.cf.rhel6.x86_64.rpm

    And then,

    ~]# rpm -Uvh *curl*.rpm
