I am having a nightmare with the RPM system.
For example...trying to install the RPM for Wine. I have downloaded the
latest version from web. I click on the RPM and rpminst tells me that the
packages are already installed. Emhh. I did not install them, so the Mandrake
install must have. I locate wine, which finds a handful of *wine* files. So,
I try to uninstall the wine from the mandrake software manager...sorry can't
do that, RPM database does not have wine installed. I can install it, but
then rpminst telles me that it is already installed.
So...I cannot uninstall it, nor can I install it. Catch22. Does anyone have
any ideas. I've tried using the command:
rpm -i codeweavers-wine-20010305-1.rpm
but this tells me I need to run a command to upgrade my database to db3,
whatever that may be.
Help please...thanks.
Dave
