Package management confusion
I am running Mageia 6, trying to install PacketFence via the RPM method. The issue I am facing is that I do not believe that urpmi has a native function to install all package dependencies.
I thought that the command urpmi /path/to/rpm -auto would querty the package and install its dependencies, but it did not. Some websites mentioned that I can use yum with a local repository; although, it's not recommended.
A little more digging and I found that I can use dnf to install RPMs. So the command sudo dnf install /path/to/rpm will install the packages, and its dependencies.
The issue then is, I found packages that do not have requests:
Problem: conflicting requests
- nothing provides glibc-common needed by packetfence-8.1.0-1.el7.noarch
So that then led me to think, urpmi glibc however that then resulted in stating I had the latest version of glibc installed.
I ran around some RPM finding sites, downloaded what seems to be the dependency installers, only to be greeted with the same error(s).
Is this installer a really bad example? Am I installing the wrong one? Surely package management here isn't as odd as I am experiencing. Using RMP finders and running urpmi install is fine, and dnf seems better, but how does one go about installing dependencies?

Noted usingdnfI am not able to installglibc-commonor even search the product, yet on other system's it's fine (from other Linux based users). Further testedurpmito install another package with ~70 dependencies and that worked flawlessly; so either missing a repo or this package isn't build for Mageia.
