Hi,

I'm trying to install netatalk on a Linux Mandrake 7.2, but it did not work.
First I've tried to install an older version and got these messages:

[root@SERVER /root]# rpm -i /var/lib/rpm/netatalk-1.4b2asun2.1.3-6.i386.rpm
warning: The DDP services appear to be present in /etc/services.
warning: Please check them against services.atalk in the documentation.
[root@SERVER /root]#

then I tested it, and it did not work as you can see below:

[root@SERVER init.d]# ./atalk status
atalkd is stopped
[root@SERVER init.d]# ./atalk start
Starting AppleTalk services: (backgrounded)
[root@SERVER init.d]# ./atalk status
atalkd is stopped
[root@SERVER init.d]#

Then I've tried a newer version (netatalk-1.5pre2-6.i386.rpm) from the
RedHat 7.1 CD, but could'n even install it. See the error messages below:

[root@SERVER /root]# cd /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS
[root@SERVER RPMS]# rpm -ivh netatalk*
error: failed dependencies:
        libcrypto.so.1 is needed by netatalk-1.5pre2-6
        libdb-3.1.so is needed by netatalk-1.5pre2-6

Last thing I tried was to uninstall and install a new downloaded one
(netatalk-1.5pre6-1mdk.i586.rpm) - I guess the "mdk" in the file name has
something to do with "Mandrake"...
Anyway, it did not work, because when trying to uninstall the previous, the
RPM gives me the message that the package is not installed and when trying
to "RPM -ivh" the new version, it gives me the message that the package is
already installed...

[root@SERVER rpm]# rpm -ivh netatalk-1.5pre6-1mdk.i586.rpm
package netatalk-1.5pre6-1mdk is already installed
[root@SERVER rpm]# rpm -e netatalk-1.5pre6-1mdk.i586.rpm
error: package netatalk-1.5pre6-1mdk.i586.rpm is not installed
[root@SERVER rpm]# rpm -U netatalk-1.5pre6-1mdk.i586.rpm
package netatalk-1.5pre6-1mdk is already installed

I think I'm doing something stupid, but don't know what.

What should I do to get netatalk working?

Thanks,
Wagner.
