I swear I learn something new everyday.
I reinstalled Fedora Core 6 on my workstation today, and went to reinstall mugshot.
I downloaded the mugshot client, and attempted to install it:
sudo rpm -Uvh mugshot-1.1.40-1.fc6.x86_64.rpm
But it failed missing some dependencies:
error: Failed dependencies:
libloudmouth-1.so.0()(64bit) is needed by mugshot-1.1.40-1.fc6.x86_64
loudmouth >= 1.0.3-3 is needed by mugshot-1.1.40-1.fc6.x86_64
I quickly griped that I wish there was a yum repo with mugshot in it. !@#$%^
Then the light went on in my feable brain. I wonder if yum install path/to/rpm will work? Only one way to find out.
yum install ~/downloads/mugshot-1.1.40-1.fc6.x86_64.rpm
WOO HOO, I worked. Yum properly processed the dependencies and sucked them down from the my currently subscribed yum repos.

That was cool!
