Help needed to install Forticlient-vpn

Hi,

I'm running Mageia 9 and I have to install Forticlient-vpn to connect to my work.
I downloaded the rpm package from the fortinet website (https://www.fortinet.com/support/produc ... orticlient), but when I try to install it using dnf I got a list of unmet dependencies.

[root@localhost Downloads]# dnf install forticlient_vpn_7.2.2.0753_x86_64.rpm

(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)
[root@localhost Downloads]#


Is there anyone that can explain me how to install these dependencies on Mageia? I'm quite new to Mageia and I don't know how to get these installed.

Thanks a lot.

Hi there,

you'd to install that package with
Code: Select all
urpmi --allow-nodeps forticlient_vpn_7.2.2.0753_x86_64.rpm
as the dependencies are named slightly differently on Mageia and dnf does not provide any option to skip the dependencies check.
If you a a graphical session running you should have all those packages already installed.
