am using RHEL 5.3 and I had downloaded hal-0.5.8.1-62.el5.x86_64.rpm to update HAL daemon by using #yum update command but things didn't go fine so I decided to delete the daemon using #yum remove command
while removing the system asked if am sure to delete 146 packages mentioned in a table which I agreed to do so
now I am trying to install the downloaded RPM by placing the package in /var/lib/up2date and using the commands bellow but i couldn't also!
