I had a situation like this once... I used the rescue option on the Mandrake
8.0 install disk to get the rpm binary (/usr/bin/rpm, i think?). I copied it
to my home directory (by mounting my Linux drive). THEN, I rebooted and once
I was back in my original linux install, I did ./rpm -uvh
older_rpm_package.rpm --oldpackage and everything was happy again.
A pretty solution? No... but definitely better than getting the RPM source,
compiling it and whatnot. -- Dave
