Summary: Cannot install rpm on SL6.2

Initial Comment:
Hi, I downloaded postfixadmin-2.3.5.noarch.rpm and tried to install it on SL6.2 and got the following:

Error: Package: postfixadmin-2.3.5-28.1.noarch (/postfixadmin-2.3.5.noarch)
           Requires: pwdutils
Error: Package: postfixadmin-2.3.5-28.1.noarch (/postfixadmin-2.3.5.noarch)
           Requires: mod_php_any
Error: Package: postfixadmin-2.3.5-28.1.noarch (/postfixadmin-2.3.5.noarch)
           Requires: php_any_db

I have tried to find the missing files but without much luck, how do I proceed from here?

thanks.

Message:
What is "SL6.2"? Scientific Linux 6.2? (at least that's the only one that
makes sense - "SUSE Linux 6.2" (or was it named "S.u.S.E." at those times)
would also match, but is from the stone age ;-)

About your dependency problems: probably your distribution is using
different package names. 

"pwdutils" is the package containing useradd and groupadd

"mod_php_any" means mod_php* of any PHP version. Currently it means
mod_php5, but it will also match mod_php6

"php_any_db" is (at least on openSUSE) a Provides: in php5_mysql and
php5_pgsql - in other words: any php5_$database module will satisfy it

Please check how those packages are named in your distribution and tell me
a) the package name
b) the output of "rpm -q --provides" for each of those packages

As a workaround, you can install the PostfixAdmin RPM with rpm --nodeps
