在rhel5当中取消了rpmdb包（其实在fc中早就已经取消了），rpmdb主要是解决在安装包时的依赖关系。
通过以下方法可以查看究竟有没有安装rpmdb包。
[root@linux RPMS]# rpm -qa|grep rpmdb
rpmdb-RedHat
如何运用rpmdb来解决依赖关系呢？比如安装as4自带的apache时有很多依赖需要解决，如：
[root@linux RPMS]# rpm -ivh httpd-2.0.52-9.ent.i386.rpm
warning: httpd-2.0.52-9.ent.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e
error: Failed dependencies:
httpd-suexec is needed by httpd-2.0.52-9.ent.i386
Suggested resolutions:
httpd-suexec-2.0.52-9.ent.i386.rpm
报错需要安装依赖包。用rpmdb工具自动解决依赖的方法是先执行rpm -ivh rpmdb*.rpm
然后在安装其他软件包时加上--aid的参数。
[root@linux RPMS]# rpm -ivh --aid httpd-2.0.52-9.ent.i386.rpm
warning: httpd-2.0.52-9.ent.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e

安装完成了。
现在没有rpmdb工具，可以使用新的yum工具来完成。
组件包的安装都是通过yum来完成的，所以要对yum进行配置。
具体在命令行下操作如下：
1.mount -o loop rhel-5-server-dvd.iso /media/rhel
2.vi /etc/yum.repos.d/rhel-local.repo
