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 kbd ###############################################unpac king of archive failed on file /usr/lib/kbd/keytables: -2147483639: Operation not permitted error: kbd-0.96a-8.sparc.rpm cannot be installed
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.
