rpm does nothing?
 
I've downloaded the mrtg rpm package from Red Hat, but when I try to:

rpm -ivh mrtg-2[1].9.17-3.i386.rpm

...nothing happens. I dont get an error message or anything it just returns to the command prompt. I've tried rebuilding the rpm database and it didnt help. Any ideas?

are you trying this as root?

...yep I logged in as a user and su - to root.

does this happen for all rpms or just this one?

Try to execute rpm -qa to verify that your rpm-database is feeling well.

yeah andutt has the million dollar question: are the rpms being installed?

After you do:

rpm -ivh mrtg-2[1].9.17-3.i386.rpm

what does:

rpm -qa | grep mrtg

return?
