A Linux administrator attempts to install the package newprogram.x86_64.rpm using a package manager. The administrator receives a warning indicating the command that was run was using a deprecated package manager. Which of the following commands should the administrator use to avoid the warning and install the newprogram.x86_64.rpm program?

Question

Accepted Answer

A. # dnf install newprogram.x86_64.rpm dnf (Dandified YUM) replaced yum as the default package manager starting with RHEL 8 and Fedora 22, eliminating the deprecation warning; it accepts local .rpm files directly via the install subcommand and automatically resolves dependencies.

Answer

B. # rpm -e newprogram.x86_64.rpm rpm -e is the erase (uninstall) flag, not the install flag; even with the correct -i flag, rpm does not resolve dependencies and is not the replacement for the deprecated yum/dnf warning context.

Answer

C. # dpkg -i newprogram.x86_64.rpm dpkg is the low-level package manager for Debian and Ubuntu systems and cannot parse or install .rpm packages, which are exclusive to Red Hat-based distributions.

Answer

D. # apt-get install newprogram.x86_64.rpm apt-get is the package manager for Debian/Ubuntu distributions and cannot process .rpm packages; it is not applicable to a Red Hat-based environment.
