CrossOver 4 to 5 Upgrade Problem

wadedesk · 05-08-2006, 07:02 AM

First I upgraded from Fedora 3 to Fedora 5. Everything seems to be working fine.

I also want to upgrade from CrossOver Standard ver-4 to CrossOver Standard ver-5.

I downlowaded the current RPM from CodeWeavers. I started the Terminal window. I go to my download folder and I run the RPM using the "rpm -ivh" command, but I get the following message --

error: can't create trasaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/__db.000

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

I got that same msg a couple of times while installing other package. Do it as root, it might work. It worked for me everytime.

Cheers

I can not install CrossOver as Root because then CrossOver will only work for Root. Plus because CrossOver 4 is installed from my user profile, I get a version conflict if I try to install from Root.

Ok then u might try installing as root and then change the ownership to the user.

Code:

#chown -v <user> <file/folder>
