Hi,
Thanks a lot for the help. The RPM size was just 470K. I downloaded it again from net.
If this
thing happens in case of an RPM which is large in size than the suggestion from Raj
may be one
to be tried.
Unfortunatly, I cannot try it since immediatly after downloading freshly I deleted the
old
corrupted RPM.
Thanks and regards
Rajesh
