I apologize, if that is indeed the fact.
My version of Midnight Commander (mc-4.5.51) makes no mention of
needing a working rpm in the documentation (no /usr/share/mc/extfs/rpm
file.) My documentation does say that there is an older 'text version'
and a newer 'Gnome-version' though. Mine doesn't need X11; I use it
from console all the time to look into .rpms and tar'ed or gzip'ed
files.
# rpm -q -R mc
does show that mc requires rpmlib.
Is it possible have an intact rpmlib and a broken rpm?
Thanks for the input.....
Best,
Tom
