Description of problem: As the summary Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.2.3 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.Copy an RPM to the current dir. 2.type rpm -qip <PACKAGE_NAME.RPM> 3.inspect the error message! Actual results: Expected results: I would like to be greeted with full details of the package i.e. its name, version, description etc. Additional info: This command works with all the versions of rpm on the other servers e.g. 3.0.5 etc.
What is the error message please?
Sorry, The error message is: -qip: unknown option This appears when I run : rpm -qip racvnc-1.0-1.i386.rpm from the command line. Thanks
What does the following say? rpm -qp racvnc-1.0-1.i386.rpm Try also rpm -qi -p racvnc-1.0-1.i386.rpm Does that work on your system?
Hello Jeff, I have tried rpm -qp racvnc-1.0-1.i386.rpm it produces the following: racvnc-1.0-1 I also tried rpm -qi -p racvnc-1.0-1.i386.rpm it produced: -qi: unknown option Thanks
-qi unknown option not found means that /usr/lib/rpm/rpmpopt* is not being found. What does rpm -V rpm say?
Jeff, It says: package rpm is not installed I have run rpm -i rpm-4.2.1-4.4 which does not work because it complains of a missing "popt = 1.8.1 is needed by rpm-4.2.1-4.4" thus I ran: rpm -q popt which said: popt-1.8.2-10 This I find most confusing, but it is probably beyond the scope of this bug, which appears to be a missing installation of rpm. FYI I installed RHEL 3 Taroon Update 3 and have since updated it fully using RHN. There appear to be a few problems with package conflicts where the package is already installed but rpm is asking for an older version, just like the description above. I imagine you'll be closing this bug? Thanks
Hmm, dunno what happened. Reinstalling rpm-4.2.3-10 from RHEL3U3 (all the packages, including popt) should fix the problem. Reopen this bug if you need more.
