Mark, I accessed the ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/8.0/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/ site and found rpm-4.1-1.06 as the listed rpm release, and I also verified that same version is currently installed on my Linux Server. Any other ideas?

Do you have a URL showing where I can pick up the rpm-4.1.? rpm or patch?

It simply does not work.

My problem is this, I can use the below command fine on the alpha box to change the install directory from /tmp to /opt, but when I try to install using the same command on an intel (Linux i386 with rpm version 4.1) the --prefix and --relocate options aren't recognized (or just don't work). > > Works on the alpha (using rpm-3.0.2): Doesn't recognize the --prefix /opt on the i386 Linux server (using rpm4.1) > # rpm --prefix /opt --ignorearch --ignoreos -ivv rg-1.1-222.alpha.rpm > > Doesn't recognize the --relocate /tmp=/opt on the i386 Linux server (using rpm4.1) either > # rpm --relocate /tmp=/opt --ignorearch --ignoreos -ivv rg-1.1-222.alpha.rpm > > Installs with error in the /tmp dir when on the intel server. > _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
