WHM installation problem -- cannot exclude openldap RPM

[ShirazDindar]

Hello,

I'm installing WHM on a fresh server according to these instructions:

http://www.cpanel.net/docs/vps/Installation.htm

Step 3 of the instructions reads:

Run rpm -qa and look for any entries beginning with "httpd" "mod_ssl" "mysql" "openldap" (if you wish to install openldap, you can install it later, installing it at this time, will cause problems with exim) & "php" and then use rpm -e to remove them (and all their dependencies).

But I cannot exclude the openldap RPM because, as I read this, the dependencies on openldap have their own dependencies:

# rpm -qa | grep openldap
openldap-2.3.19-4
# rpm -e openldap-2.3.19-4
error: Failed dependencies:

So what should I do? Do I just leave it, continue with the installation, and trust that leaving openldap in won't interfere with Exim, as the installation instructions suggest?


Thanks,

I am coming across the same issue with an base install of CentOS 5.1. Has anyone found a solution to this yet?
