Description Steve Coile 1999-05-31 17:04:55 UTC 
When attempting to "rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps" on a file
that does not contain an RPM, "rpm" returns the error
message, "error: <package> does not appear to be a RPM
package", which is correct, but the return code is zero
(0), indicating success.  The return code should be
non-zero.
