Recently i managed to lose my /var/lib/rpm (RH7.1). now i am trying to install an rpm but get errors since the entire database is wiped out. i tried the following: rpm --initdb rpm --rebuilddb (some empty files created) then i tried the following: rpm -iv --justdb glibc* filesystem* setup*
With the above i got into a loop of dependencies, some which i dont know how to satisfy. What is the way out ??? Do i have to reinstall ? (I know one option is to use only tar.gz files, but in one freak case (jikes 1.18) the rpm works but the tar.bz2 fails in some cases). (Note:This is my home PC on a very slow dialup, but i do have the rpms on my disk) -- thanks rahul ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
