Upgrading Sudo
Hi all
I am trying to upgrade Sudo on my Redhat Linu 7.0 box. I have obtained the latest version of Sudo (1.6.6) from
http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/. THis is in the form of a src.rpm file. I am confused about installing this. How can I install from a source rpm. It does not upgrade the package when I do a rpm -Uvh <filename> Three files get created when I fo this:
a
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/sudo-1.6.5p2.tar.bz2
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/sudo-1.6.5p3.patch
/usr/src/redhat/SPEC/sudo.spec
I do not know where to proceed from here. I tried to do rpm -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPEC/sudo.spec. But got the message:
error: failed to build dependencies:
pam-devl is needed bu sudo-1.6.5p2-1.7x.1
Please give me some direction as to where to proceed from here.
Thanks all in advance.

RPMSPEC(8) System Manager's Manual RPMSPEC(8)
NAME
rpmspec - RPM Spec Tool
SYNOPSIS
QUERYING SPEC FILES:
rpmspec {-q|--query} [select-options] [query-options] SPEC_FILE ...
select-options
[--rpms]
[--srpms]
query-options
[--qf,--queryformat QUERYFMT]
[--target TARGET_PLATFORM]
QUERY OPTIONS
The general form of an rpm spec query command is
rpm {-q|--query} [select-options] [query-options]
You may specify the format that the information should be printed in. To do this, you use the
--qf|--queryformat QUERYFMT
option, followed by the QUERYFMT format string. See rpm(8) for details.
SELECT OPTIONS
--rpms Operate on the binary package header(s).
--srpm Operate on the source package header(s).
SEE ALSO
popt(3),
rpm(8),
rpmdb(8),
rpmkeys(8),
rpmsign(8),
rpm2cpio(8),
rpmbuild(8),
rpmspec --help - as rpm supports customizing the options via popt aliases it's impossible to guarantee that what's described in the manual
matches what's available.
