We are trying to install Universal Forwarder package (v 6.4.1) using the yum command by making use of the Splunk rpm file. The OS version is Redhat Linux 5.11. When we execute the command, during the Dependency Resolution phase, we get a list of 86 packages which include openssl, less, bash and so on and asking for a confirmation about whether to proceed with the set up of all these dependent packages.
Could you please confirm how these dependencies are made use of and whether we can go ahead and make use of the --no-deps option of the rpm command, as we are not sure if the installation of so many packages can cause any issues to the current processes running on the system.
