How to find and resolve dependencies of linux rpm file.

When ever we try to install the rpm file in Linux, the rpm often throws dependency errors . RPM dependencies can be resolved with some handy rpm commands. The below commands will be helpful when your are trying to install a rpm file on Linux. 

#> rpm -qpR <.rpm file >       --- > This command will list all the other dependent files for this rpm to get installed.


#>rpm -qf < absolute path to the file>   --->  This command will tell what package this  file belongs to or find which  package owns this file

    Hi..This is Prashanth K,
    I want to Install VMware-Workstation-7.0.0-203739_i386-NoTools.bundle in my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
    But, When run the package for VMWare, I am getting frequent error of RPM Dependencies.



    Error:
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    rpm : Depends: libnss3-1d (>= 3.12.2~rc1) but it is not going to be installed
    Depends: librpm0 (>= 4.7.0) but it is not installable
    Depends: librpmbuild0 (>= 4.7.0) but it is not installable
    Depends: librpmio0 (>= 4.7.0) but it is not installable
    E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

    Then, I run 'apt-get -f install',
    Error :
    Reading package lists... Done

    Reading state information... Done
    Correcting dependencies... Done
    The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
    libboost-date-time1.46.1 libmusicbrainz4c2a libvpx0
    Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
    The following extra packages will be installed:
    rpm
    Suggested packages:
    elfutils rpm-i18n
    The following packages will be upgraded:
    rpm
    1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.
    1 not fully installed or removed.
    Need to get 0 B/151 kB of archives.
    After this operation, 790 kB disk space will be freed.
    Do you want to continue [Y/n]? Y
    dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of rpm:
    rpm depends on libnss3-1d (>= 3.12.2~rc1); however:
    Package libnss3-1d is not installed.

    dpkg: error processing rpm (--configure):

    No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure.

    Errors were encountered while processing: rpm
    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

How to extract signing certificates from macOS binary files

Code signing is a macOS security technology that you use to certify that an app was created by you. Once an app is signed, the system can detect any change to the app—whether the change is introduced accidentally or by malicious code. As Apple Developer site says ( click here for more details  on code signing) : code signing allows the operating system to: Ensure that a piece of code has not been altered since it was signed.  The system can detect even the smallest change, whether it was intentional (by a malicious attacker, for example) or accidental (as when a file gets corrupted). When a code signature is intact, the system can be sure the code is as the signer intended. Identify code as coming from a specific source (a developer or signer).  The code signature includes cryptographic information that unambiguously points to a particular author. Determine whether code is trustworthy for a specific purpose.  Among other things, a developer can use a ...

How to get a certificate fingerprint as SHA-256, SHA-1 or MD5 using OpenSSL on mac

As per my old post ( http://anandmpandit.blogspot.in/2016/11/how-to-extract-signing-certificates.html ) , we can extract the binary signing certificates on mac using codesign tool. If you needed to get fingerprint details of the certificate in MD5, SHA1 or SHA256 format then you have run below steps on the extracted certificate file on macOS. SHA256: SHA256 Fingerprint=D3:0A:32:6C:77:77:93:B5:45:20:AC:C0:D4:7E:3A:84:34:50:96:54:08:7F:7D:63:4C:3E:06:3B:E8:1F:C1:90 SHA1: SHA1 Fingerprint=BF:2C:93:1F:BD:88:E5:4C:96:D8:86:D5:F1:E6:9B:B7:DE:76:51:62 MD5: MD5 Fingerprint=3C:A3:3B:76:6D:AE:3F:4B:4E:B2:AA:66:97:55:B8:76
