Downgrading RPM


Hai all,

Linux 64 bit RHEL 5


When am trying to downgrade an RPM , am getting the below error :




rpm -qa |grep binutils
binutils-2.17.50.0.6-20.el5


The requirement is to downgrade the RPm for a software requirement. I understand that I need to
go to the folder of RPM . if So, where is the location?

Please advise

It is wherever YOU put it when you downloaded the RPM. Where did you get binutils-2.17.50.0.6-20.el5.x86_64.rpm from and/or download it to?

Thanks. I didn't install this rpm. Do I have to download it again and issue the command

Yes, you also need to give the correct path to the rpm file in the command. Downgrading glibc or binutils can have serious consequences. Be sure they have the same major version (xxx.X <- the X) or you may permanently damage your system, you have been warned.
