      I
            have a customer that has rpm-4.2.3 installed on his server,
            but it is broken. He wanted to initiate updates, but with a
            broken rpm binary, that's a bit difficult.
       
      I
            searched the rpm source archive, but there is no rpm-4.2.x
            tar ball - I have the 4.1 and the 4.33, neither of which are
            the correct version for the OS installed.
      Is
            there someone that has the tarball for 4.2.3? 
    
    In general the tarball should be included in the source rpm provided
    with your distribution. If it is not available you can generate the
    tarball yourself by getting the the git repository [1] and generate
    the tarball with the "git archive" command.

    
    Another solution would be extracting the rpm binary from the rpm
    binary package using rpm2cpio and then cpio.
