Yup. Dunno why the installer didn't upgrade rpm, that's a different problem. Meanwhile, you will need to upgrade to rpm-4.0.2 to fix the segfaults. 1) Get a copy of the 5 rpm packages in /var/tmp/xxx 2) Use rpm2cpio to extract a rpm executable cd /var/tmp/xxx rpm2cpio rpm-4* | cpio -dim 3) Use the extracted executable to install the rpm packages ./bin/rpm -Uvv {rpm,popt}-* This procedure worked, thanks jbj! I had already compiled rpm-4.0.2 from source, but was a bit trepidatious. |
