You have given a reply ,reading which i get nothing into my head.Can u give me a clearer explanation

Does it mean that RPM engine has to be updated? yes it does. go to rpmfind and get newer rpms for the rpm library itself.

better?

hahahaha.....acid, u know something?

i like to read your replies to most of the threads or posts. You are a, but a bit of sarcastic sometimes....i really enjoy reading your posts

U have payed a haeavy price for ur sicausticness.Now i am boiling under pressure.I uninstalled the existing version of RPM in my machine thinking that i could get the binaries for RPMS and restore everything but i was not able to do that.Plz we come to this site to learn if u expreinced person feel our questions are silly just ignore them rather than giving misleading replies.Know i am at my wits struggling to get things up,for the simple reasin there is no source available for RPMS 4.0.x..

i'm sorry i didn't mean to sound sarcastic. in your post you asked one actual question, to which i answered "yes". i don't really see that as misleading....

Also erm.. a heavy price? i'm totally lost now....

peace :)

I am lost too.....:confused: :confused: :confused:

I am sorry, maybe i should not have used the word power, sarcastic.

I should describe that Acid has a good sense of humour, which pretty draw me to stick reading his posts.

And myself find reading his posts entertaining.

No offence, no 'trolling'..........

peace

Ok everything is fine.If u could help me out with my problem i will be happy

So did the rpm2tgz work? If so then get rpm-4.x.x.rpm and a development one and convert them to tarballs, install from tarballs and then you can use rpm database to store packages info, etc.

I haven't tried yet,I am just engaged with some coding work(basically i am a PHP programmer,sice there are no sysadmin in my office i take care of my server also).I was normally considered as not being adventourous,with regards to the server handling.SO in the past 2 days i attempted few adventourous things and ran into problems,,once i install i will get back to u.I can never forget ur help
