Another possibility, maybe the rpm is corrupt. I don't know how you got it but if it was via ftp and binary transfer wasn't used, that could explain why it's complaining about the magic number. If the commands Frank gave you didn't do the trick, I would download the client again.

I am trying to install a 5.2 client on a Linux machine (Linux390 SuSE); when I enter rpm -i TIVsm-API.s390.rpm I get TIVsm-BA rpm: rpmio.c:177: fdGetFp: Assertion `fd && fd->magic == 0xbeefdead' failed. TSM Support tell me this is an rpm issue. I just don't know where to go to try to figure out what the problem is; I'm a complete novice with rpm. Can anyone give me a clue? Thanks, Jane M
