I am trying to set up proxies on my Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. I am trying to install CNTLM proxy authentication software. I downloaded the RPM file from the official repo and tried the following command: sudo rpm -Uvh cntlm-0.92.3-1.x86_64.rpm However, I get error: Failed dependencies: /sbin/chkconfig is needed by cntlm-0.92.3-1.x86_64 To try to fix this, I used the following command: sudo dnf install chkconfig This had the following output: Updating Subscription Management repositories.

Failed: chkconfig-1.20-2.el9.x86_64 First off, the "error unpacking rpm..." error message and the "Installed products updated" messages seem contradictory; I don't understand exactly what's going on there. Secondly, this appears to make no difference - I'm still unable to do the cntlm install. Can anyone suggest how I can fix this so that I can install cntlm?
