I recently removed the RH8 rpms of rpm and replaced them with the 4.1 source files from rpm.org, in order to try to get my source version of Kpackage running. My problem is getting the source version to read the rpm database, as it does not know what packages are installed, and this is quite a mess, since rpm without its database just about useless. I understand that the database is kept in /var/lib/rpm. When I uninstalled rpm by rpm, in /var/lib a directory was saved as rpm.rpmsave. When I installed from source, it created a directory called /var/lib/rpm. I have tried changing /var/lib/rpm.rpmsave to /var/lib/rpm and rpm did not appear to read anything from there. What do I need to do to get rpm to read the old database? -- Rob Blomquist Kirkland, WA On the side of the software box, in the 'System Requirements' section, it said 'Requires Windows 95 or better'.
