Kafkaesque circular error installing

I am trying to install 1.4 (the same thing happens with 1.3) from the appropriate binary package to Mandriva 2006.

When I attempt to install amarok-1.4-beta2.2.20060gm.i586 using rpmdrake I get an error \"Some package requested cannot be installed:
amarok-1.4-beta2.2.20060gm.i586 (due to unsatisfied amarok-engine-1.4)

When I attempt to install (for example) amarok-engine-xine-1.4-beta2.2.20060gm.i586.rpm in the same way, I get an error \"Some package requested cannot be installed:
amarok-engine-xine-1.4-beta2.2.20060gm.i586.rpm (due to unsatisfied amarok[==1.4])

At this point, seeing that I can\'t install either without the other already being installed, and noting that nobody else seems to have this problem and there\'s no obvious solution to it in the installation notes, I start to question my own sanity and run gibbering into the street.

Although this time I thought \'if I flutter my eyelashes nicely in the forum, somebody might recognise my plight and be able to help me out.

So - any of you gallants up for rescuing this damsel in distress?

Don\'t know nothing about Mandriva, but as at seems to be rpm based you probably also have the tool \'rpm\' available. Just use \'rpm -Uhv amarok-engine-xine-1.4-beta2.2.20060gm.i586.rpm amarok-1.4-beta2.2.20060gm.i586\' to install the mutually dependent packages in one transaction.

I had the same problem.
I did:
-Download and installed: libgpod0-0.3.0-0.1.101mdk.i586.rpm, and libgpod-0.3.0-0.1.102mdk.i586.rpm.
-Then in the folder where are libamarok, amarok, amarok-scripts, amarok-engine-xine. and there type rpm -i --nodeps *.rpm.

I hope this could helps you.

I tried rpm -Uhv but I had the same problem.
Try this after you compile andbuild the rpms packages.
