Hello everyone! :-D
Alright... I want to install the package "bzip2-1.0.3-2.2.1.i386.rpm" because ePSXe needs it. I downloaded it, ran this command:

yum install bzip2-1.0.3-2.2.1.i386.rpm

I got this output:

Isn't it suppossed to download the dependencies by itself? Thanks! ;-)

If I connect my microwave to my PC, will I be able to download food?

Hmm... There was an entry that had the exact same problem I had:

Q. 6: I'm upgrading and I get "Error: Missing Dependency:" messages like "Error: Missing Dependency: libgcj.so.5 is needed by package junit" and then yum quits. What should I do?

Here's the solution:

In the example, remove junit, upgrade, then reinstall junit.

Upgrade what? I just want to install Bzip2... Do you know what that means? Thanks! ;-)
