Package: rpm
Version: 4.0.3-4
I installed the "rpm" package after a vendor's installer demanded
it. However, the vendor's installer didn't work, failing with weird
errors like
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - No such file or
directory (2)
I looked through the rpm man page, and decided to try
rpm --initdb
but this gave the same error.
Eventually, I found that the problem seemed to be that the directory
/var/lib/rpm didn't exist. A mkdir /var/lib/rpm fixed it.
I think that the package rpm should create /var/lib/rpm upon
installation (and maybe also --initdb) so that the rpm program will
work after it is installed.
thanks,
bayle
