This email is a bit long, as I want to highlight how I started this so that you get a better idea what is going on.

It created a directory "/tmp/extrarpms" under /tmp with all the required rpms that it needs. The libreadline rpm is installed by this rpm "readline-4.2-2.i386.rpm". I've checked this from rpmfind.net as well. Before I installed their WEBppliance upgrade patch they say to update the rpms. So I ran the command : rpm -Uvh /tmp/extrarpms/rpm*.rpm However I hit this problem first: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /tmp]# rpm -Uvh /tmp/extrarpms/rpm*.rpm Preparing... #####################################[100%] 1:rpm ##################################### [ 20%] 2:rpm-build ##################################### [ 40%] 3:rpm-devel ##################################### [ 60%] 4:rpm-perl ##################################### [ 80%] 5:rpm-python #####################################[100%] rpmdb: Suspiciously high nelem of 4294967295 on page 0 error: db4 error(-30979) from db->verify: DB_VERIFY_BAD: Database verification failed [EMAIL PROTECTED] /tmp]# Someone from another forum (http://forum.rackshack.net/showthread.php?s=&postid=124109#post124109) suggested I run this command : rpm --rebuilddb I did that and nothing was reported. So I assumed it went ok. After that I tried to re-install the rpms with the following output: [EMAIL PROTECTED] extrarpms]# rpm --rebuilddb [EMAIL PROTECTED] extrarpms]# rpm -Uvh /tmp/extrarpms/rpm*.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] package rpm-4.0.4-7x.18 is already installed package rpm-build-4.0.4-7x.18 is already installed package rpm-devel-4.0.4-7x.18 is already installed package rpm-perl-4.0.4-7x.18 is already installed package rpm-python-4.0.4-7x.18 is already installed [EMAIL PROTECTED] extrarpms]# I am not sure now if it was suppose to go further than this. Anyway I ran the installer for the WEBppliance to start The installation and I get this error: Determining RPMs which need upgrade/installation... [ OK ] Starting upgrade.

Does that mean I have to uninstall rpm "readline-4.1-9" and then install 4.2 version or is there a way to force rpm to ignore conflicts and overwrite using the ones from version 4.2 ? I basically cannot proceed with the server WEBppliabce upgrade Until the rpms from the "extrarpms" directory are all installed.
