OK, I had tried that too, didn't see anything particularly illuminating, but maybe you can - the output is below. BTW, how can I extract the files from the .rpm file manually, so I can take a look at what it's looking for, etc? I don't see an rpm command to do that, and midnight commander's rpm "virtual filesystem" doesn't seem to 'see' those kinds of things. One other thing: kpackage from wkstn 3.1 seems to reliably crash if I open an rpm file and then try clicking on it in the left-hand "PACKAGES" window after it's been opened. (therefore the right-hand panel is always empty) Thx, Phil [root@xxxxx RPMS]# rpm -vv --test -i mrtg-2.9.10-1col.i586.rpm D: MultiVers: /usr/lib/rpm-3.0.6/rpmrc: appended '' (nothing) D: MultiVers: /etc/rpmrc: appended '' (nothing) D: MultiVers: /root/.rpmrc: appended '' (nothing) D: MultiVers: /usr/lib/rpm-3.0.6/macros: appended '' (nothing) D: MultiVers: /usr/lib/rpm-3.0.6/i686-linux/macros: appended '' (nothing) D: MultiVers: /usr/lib/rpm-3.0.6/macros.OL: appended '' (nothing) D: MultiVers: /etc/rpm/macros.specspo: appended '' (nothing) D: MultiVers: /etc/rpm/macros: appended '' (nothing) D: MultiVers: /etc/rpm/i686-linux/macros: appended '' (nothing) D: MultiVers: /root/.rpmmacros: appended '' (nothing) D: counting packages to install D: found 1 packages D: looking for packages to download D: retrieved 0 packages D: New Header signature D: Signature size: 149 D: Signature pad : 3 D: sigsize : 152 D: Header + Archive: 644097 D: expected size : 644097 D: opening database mode 0x0 in /var/lib/rpm D: found 0 source and 1 binary packages D: YES A perl = 5.6.0-4 B perl = 5.6.0 D: requires: perl = 5.6.0 satisfied by db packages.
