Is there a howto or help file somewhere as to installing rpm 4 on a system currently on rpm 3.05? I have a sketchy sort of dea as to what doto, and want to know if the following will do it: 1. get the src rpms from rpm.org and make necessary RPMs for installing with rpm ver 3 2. backup the Packages file in /var/lib/rpm 3. Install, then remove the packages file in /var/lib/rpm 4. then rpm -rebuilddb --dbapi1 --rebuilddbapi 3 And pray that the stuff works. If anyone has done this upgrade, please enlighten.
