Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 3) As well as : # rpm -Fvh rpm-4.2.3-10.i386.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:rpm ########################################### [100%] error: unpacking of archive failed on file /bin/rpm: cpio: rename failed - Operation not permitted # Currently installed: rpm-4.2.1-4.4 How do I get around this conundrum? Running as root, tried to use up2date, up2date-gnome, install (failed dependencies). Tried to chown root:root /bin/rpm but that refused (chown: changing ownership of `/bin/rpm': Operation not permitted)--currently rpm:rpm--I assume this is the problem. Did lots of searches in this list, other lists, google, et al. nada Thanks -sc _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
