Update rpm and friends to something like below: (icarus pts11) # rpm -qa | grep rpm rpm-4.1.1-1.8x rpm-build-4.1.1-1.8x rpm-python-4.1.1-1.8x rpm-devel-4.1.1-1.8x (icarus pts11) # You also need popt and maybe 1 or 2 more deps. I do not remember exactly. It was last May when I did it. IIRC there was a thread on this list where I discussed doing this with Seth. If you are interested look in the archives Rpm says it was installed Wed 28 May 2003 10:22:46 PM EDT so that should give you a place to look in the archives if you like. I was even able to use yum to do it. Worked fine for me on 2 or 3 boxes. Of course your mileage may vary. You can get them from rpm.org. HTH, Tom
