Hey. I am having trouble with whole RPM thing. Everytime i try to update something or install something, i get RPM errors. forinstance i tried updating the core packages and then went to install them and got a message that said:

"There was a fatail RPM install error. THe message was:
There was a rpm unpack error installing the package: kernel-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl"

Can anyone help? Thanks so much!!!

Which package did you try to install?

Where did you have downloaded the package?

Can you give me the error in a console mode plz, just copy/past

Like : rpm -Uvh name_of_rpm.rpm

blablabla

blalballa

ERROR HERE ..

Just copy that for help me to understand

Also, what is your distro? Red Hat/Fedora/Mandrake?
