D: counting packages to install
D: found 1 packages
I'm trying to install an RPM that I downloaded. It won't install, and
gives me very little reason why (the "error:..." line below). I've read
through the rpm info page, and I couldn't find anything about error
messages. I've tried re-downloading the file, with the same results. I
could believe that this is from damage in transport (I downloaded to an NT4
machine at work, then put it on a floppy to get it home). Can anyone tell
me if this error is from damage in transport, or is there something else
going on? Thanks for your help.
