--aid not working with freshen

["Leonard den Ottolander" <leonardjo hetnet nl>]

Hi,

 I sort of hoped that --aid would also install dependencies when freshening 
a system, but this fails (never mind the --root, similar behaviour is seen 
when freshening the current system):

[root@athlon i586]# rpm --root /mnt/tmp -Fv *.rpm --aid
warning: a2ps-4.13b-29.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 897da07a
warning: ac-archive-0.5.39-2.noarch.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 
db42a60e
error: Failed dependencies:
        tzdata >= 2003a is needed by glibc-common-2.3.2-71
[root@athlon i586]# rpm --root /mnt/tmp -q rpmdb-redhat
rpmdb-redhat-9.0.93-0.20030718
[root@athlon i586]# rpm -q rpmdb-redhat
rpmdb-redhat-9.0.93-0.20030718
[root@athlon i586]# rpm -q rpm
rpm-4.2.1-0.30

 Might this behaviour change in the future? I prefer using freshen over 
upgrade since this saves me the effort to put the needed rpms in a separate 
directory. Using freshen I can just maintain a directory containing the 
latest version of every rpm.

 By the way this is a Severn system.

Bye,
Leonard.
