installation - yum install complains about already installed dependency

Question

I mean to install a package that is apparently not available in my registered repos (see RedHat, which package provides hdf5.h).

So I downloaded hdf5-openmpi-devel-1.8.5.patch1-10.el6.i686.rpm from rpmfind.net, and tried installing from file, obtaining complaints about some missing files (see (1) below). But those files exist in my system (see (2) below).

How can I work around this issue to get a functional system?

This seems to deal with a related but different issue.

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Answer 1

The installed package was a different versión and for a different architecture. I learned this with

$ repoquery -q -f --installed */libhdf5.so*
hdf5-0:1.8.5.patch1-9.el6.x86_64

Thus, I downloaded and installed

# yum install hdf5-1.8.5.patch1-10.el6.x86_64.rpm
...
# yum install hdf5-openmpi-1.8.5.patch1-10.el6.x86_64.rpm hdf5-openmpi-devel-1.8.5.patch1-10.el6.x86_64.rpm
...

and it did not complain.

This hinted me at the answer. See also this.
