Hmm, maybe see if you're trying to upgrade an existing package, (by doing something like 'rpm -qa|grep ftpd') and if so, use the -U option for rpm instead of -i. AFAIK, -U can be used even for installs of new packages, so (if that's right) it could/should be used instead of -i anytime. I use -Uvh.
Also: is this .rpm file made for RedHat 9? It might be somewhat distro-dependent, if not... or maybe there's more cruft left over from mandrake. (You managed to upgrade a mandrake to redhat, using a CD and clicking upgrade?? nice, except for the headaches!) Also, if worse comes to worse, say if you can determine that there is a conflict with the existing package or other ones, remove whatever related stuff you can afford to remove, temporarily (rpm -e, but be careful, as it does not save backups as it uninstalls), do your install or upgrade, and then fix up your package set. For instance, to upgrade from redhat 7.x to 9, I had to remove a TON of packages, since I was using a lot of .fr2 (freshrpms) and .ximian (er, Novell) packages which made for horrible unresolvable conflicts until I erased all those outsourced ones, did the upgrade, then recovered based merely on a saved list of packages... my dvd reader still doesn't work again though, wah! regards, Ben On Wed, 12 Nov 2003 20:59:47 +0000 "Bob Crandell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: | Hi, | | When I type rpm -i wu-ftpd-2.6.2-12.i386.rpm on a brand new Redhat 9.0 | box I get | rpm: relocation error: rpm: undefined symbol: poptAliasOptions | | This is an upgrade from mandrake 7.2 that didn't go well. | | help. | | Thanks | Bob | _______________________________________________ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
