Hello
I tried installing Red Hat Linux 6.2's updated packages Pine,Zlib etc.Since the packages that were installed during Red Hat's installation had some vulnerabilty.Red hat Errata had given these updated packages.But when i tried to install the updated packages it said that these packages needed
rpmlib<=4.0-1 is needed.Does it mean that RPM engine has to be updated.What shall i do
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....
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.
