im trying to install apt4rpm on rh9 and ive run into a problem:

i typed 'rpm apt4rpm-0.65.3-0.noarch.rpm' and got this error


[root@silvera-hroom apt4rpm]# rpm apt4rpm-0.65.3-0.noarch.rpm
dbiTagsInit: unrecognized tag name: "Sha1header" ignored
dbiTagsInit: unrecognized tag name: "Pubkeys" ignored
error: unrecognized db option: "tmpdir" ignored
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Invalid argument (22)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
[root@silvera-hroom apt4rpm]#

i forced the install because it said one file conflicted with another. im not sure what to do at this point.

thanks
