I've been trying for days now to get apt-get installed on my system
(rh9). It all boils down to where I get stuck for lack of one stoopid
file that I can only find packaged in older versions of RPM. (In my
research, I came across a couple of horror stories where they attempted
to install the older version while thinking they would just be able to
re-install the newer version.)
"man rpm" doesn't give me anything that looks like I can get rpm to
install just one file from a package in the place where it is supposed
to go and *not* update any databases in the process. (It has a switch
to do the opposite, namely to update the database without installing any
files.)
If it's not possible to get rpm to do what I want, is there some other
way to extract just one file from a package and know where to copy it to?
