Okay, a lot of people have been asking this so I guess this will help. Okay this is what you need to do: (I am presuming you have rh 6.2)
download the following: ftp://rpm.redhat.com/pub/rpm/dist/rpm-4.0.x/db3-3.1.14-0.3.6x.i386.rpm ftp://rpm.redhat.com/pub/rpm/dist/rpm-4.0.x/db3-devel-3.1.14-0.3.6x.i386.rpm ftp://rpm.redhat.com/pub/rpm/dist/rpm-4.0.x/db3-utils-3.1.14-0.3.6x.i386.rpm ftp://rpm.redhat.com/pub/rpm/dist/rpm-4.0.x/rpm-build-4.0-6x.i386.rpm ftp://rpm.redhat.com/pub/rpm/dist/rpm-4.0.x/rpm-devel-4.0-6x.i386.rpm ftp://rpm.redhat.com/pub/rpm/dist/rpm-4.0.x/rpm-4.0-6x.i386.rpm ftp://rpm.redhat.com/pub/rpm/dist/rpm-4.0.x/rpm-python-4.0-6x.i386.rpm ftp://rpm.redhat.com/pub/rpm/dist/rpm-4.0.x/popt-1.6-6x.i386.rpm put all of them in a single dir.. & run #rpm -Uvh *.rpm Now run the command #rpm --rebuilddb this rpm --rebuilddb command must be run immediately after you have upgreded the rpm's. If you run *any* other command before that you will end up with an unusable rpm database. You have been warned, that aside, I have succesfully upgraded my version of rpm to 4.0.2. Also you might want to backup /bin/rpm and /var/lib/rpm/*. hth, regards, Sharukh. -- Dr. Sharukh K. R.
