From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011013 Description of problem: Your solution to bug report 57684: >> Install rpm-4.0.3 packages from ftp.rpm.org/pub/rpm/dist-4.0.x >> and do a --rebuilddb. That will eliminate damaged header >> instance #1022 from your Packages database. No can do. I can't install the new RPM 4.0.3 via RPM, because RPM is broken. I downloaded rpm-4.0.3.tar.gz and tried to build it, but it does not seem to build properly. If I understand the INSTALL instructions correctly, running ./autogen.sh should set some env variable then launch configure. When I run ./autogen.sh all I get is a USAGE message ( see http://www.geocities.com/jfxberns/autogen.output.txt ). I checked the versions of the required apps and they meet the requirements for RPM 4.0.3 ( see http://www.geocities.com/jfxberns/versions.txt ) I tried ./configure, but it dies with an error (see http://www.geocities.com/jfxberns/configure.output.txt ). OK. I am back to square one. No working rpm, no way to run rpm --rebuilddb. What's next? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. d/l rpm-4.0.3.tar.gz 2. tar -xzf rpm-4.0.3.tar.xzf 3. cd rpm-4.0.3 4. ./autogen.sh 5. ./configure Actual Results: ./autogen.sh should run configure, but it doesn't ./configure exits with an error Expected Results: ./autogen should generate a proper config file... Additional info: I re-installed a fresh copy of db-3.1.17 just to make sure that that wasn't generating a problem.
