You can create an RPM database by doing "rpm --initdb" You may need to create the directories it needs first -- I think it needs /var/lib/rpm , perhaps others. After "rpm --initdb" runs successfully, you should be able to install the rpm, as long as you work around the dependencies. _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
