  • You may be able to recompile source code for a non-Linux Unix program on Linux.

Question 6

Question
Which is true of using both RPM and Debian package management systems on one computer?
Answer
  • It’s generally inadvisable because the two systems don’t share installed-file database information.
  • It’s impossible because their installed-file databases conflict with one another.
  • It causes no problems if you install important libraries once in each format.
  • It’s a common practice on Red Hat and Debian systems.
  • Using both systems simultaneously requires installing the alien program.

Question 7

Question
Which of the following statements is true about binary RPM packages that are built for a particular distribution?
Answer
  • License requirements forbid using the package on any other distribution.
  • They may be used in another RPM-based distribution only when you set the -- convert-distrib parameter to rpm.
  • They may be used in another RPM-based distribution only after you recompile the package’s source RPM
  • They can be recompiled for an RPM-based distribution running on another type of CPU.
  • They can often be used on another RPM-based distribution for the same CPU architecture, but this isn’t guaranteed.

Question 8

Question
An administrator types the following command on an RPM-based Linux distribution: # rpm -ivh megaprog.rpm What is the effect of this command?
Answer
  • If the megaprog package is installed on the computer, it is uninstalled.
  • If the megaprog.rpm package exists, is valid, and isn’t already installed on the computer, it is installed.
  • The megaprog.rpm source RPM package is compiled into a binary RPM for the computer.
  • Nothing; megaprog.rpm isn’t a valid RPM filename, so rpm will refuse to operate on this file.
  • The megaprog.rpm package replaces any earlier version of the package that’s already installed on the computer.
