Whenever I try to use apt-get I get this: $ apt-get: error while loading shared libraries: librpm-4.1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I've tried to find this librpm-4.1.so to no avail. I googled, freshrpm-ed and rpmfind-ed it. Nothing... Anyone? Also, I have had constant trouble installing j2re. After downloading and executing the shell script I do this: bash-2.05b$ rpm -ivh jre-1.3.1_08.i586.rpm error: cannot get exclusive lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Operation not permitted (1) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm bash-2.05b$ What's causing this error?
