I have been having problems getting rpm to work on mdk 7.2. At the
moment, when I try to upgrade cups by downloading the rpm, I get:
[root@lyra mdk7.2_updates]# rpm -Uvh cups-1.1.4-7.1mdk.i586.rpm
cups                        #########################################
error getting record /bin/sh from //var/lib/rpm/requiredby.rpm
error getting record /bin/sh from //var/lib/rpm/requiredby.rpm

then cups appears to have installed correctly, but there are 2 copies:
[root@lyra mdk7.2_updates]# rpm -q cups
cups-1.1.4-3mdk
cups-1.1.4-7.1mdk

?? What's wrong with my setup ??

Furthermore, when I fire up MandrakeUpdate (problems there, too -
see below), and try to update a package, I get complaints of an
incorrectly signed package or faulty gnupg setup.

2nd problem (related?):
when I try to start MandrakeUpdate or DrakConf from the desktop,
nothing happens. When I try to start them from the command-line:

[tom@lyra tom]$ /usr/X11R6/bin/DrakConf
execl() error, errno=13

Now, I assume that you're supposed to execute DrakConf.real, because
that seems to work, but why won't clicking the desktop icon work?

Anyway, the main question remains the rpm database... can anyone
help?

Thanks,
Tom
