Description Brian Feeny 1999-03-10 22:25:20 UTC 
kbd-0.96a-8.sparc.rpm is installed from RH5.1

Whenever I try to -Fvh it, it fails, either from the CD
Redhat shipped me, or from a fresh new package ftp'ed from
redhat.

[cluebox:/tmp/hmm] $ rpm -Fvh kbd-0.96a-8.sparc.rpm
warning: /etc/rc.d/init.d/keytable saved as
/etc/rc.d/init.d/keytable.rpmsave

Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 1999-03-24 23:37:59 UTC 
I just did (on a sparc running Red Hat 5.2)
	rpm -e kbd
	rpm -U kbd-0.96a-8.sparc.rpm
and that worked with rpm-2.93-3 (rpm-2.92 is available at
rawhide.redhat.com).

Try the following
	rpm --rebuilddb		# just in case
	rpm -e kbd		# get rid of previous
	rpm -U kbd-0.96a.sparc.rpm
and if that fails, try upgrading rpm to rpm-2.5.6 and/or
rpm-2.92 and repeat.

Please reopen this bug if the above does not fix your problem.
