How to install Network Manager offline


So I was trying to install Network Manager for my SLES 15 SP4 and I finally fixed all the dependencies issue.

However, the last dependency made me extremely confuse. The NetwrokManager needs NetworkManager-branding, but the NetworkManager-branding also needs NetworkManager!! How could it happend?

I can't connect to my network through setup with YaST, although "ip address" shows eth3 is UP, it can't get the IP from DHCP. (it's the reason why I wanna try NetworkManager)

Solution

  • A) I think it would work to list both RPMs in one RPM install command

    B) You can do rpm --install --nodeps ... to install a package with missing dependencies. Just install one of the two packages using --nodeps, and then you can install the other normally.
