Issue:
I am trying to install a third-party application on my Red Hat Enterprise Linux system but I am getting failed dependencies error messages. I know that these dependencies are native to Red Hat Enterprise Linux but I do not know which package they belong to. How do I use my up2date agent to resolve these dependencies?
Resolution:

I am getting similar error messages regarding module dependencies when trying to install a third-party rpm package:

 
error: failed dependencies:
      libcap.so    is needed by VMware
      libcap.so.1  is needed by VMware
      libcap.so.1.10  is needed by vsftpd

If these module dependencies do exist in any of the packages in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the following command to automatically resolve these dependencies and install the appropriate packages on your system. 

 
up2date  --solvedeps=<module1,moduleN>
