hi. i gave the wrong log files in error.. i saw this too and ran it as root.
i have got into a cyclical trap with this where i cannot install a higher version of X unless i uninstall the lower version, which i cannot as that is locked by other dependencies. But thanks for the help. will step away from this problem for a while and then retry.. abhishek > > On Sat, 2004-04-24 at 14:21, Abhishek Daga wrote: > >> [EMAIL PROTECTED] abhi]$ rpm -ivh downloads/aspell-en-0.33.7.1-134.i386.rpm >> warning: only V3 signatures can be verified, skipping V4 signature >> error: cannot get exclusive lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages >> error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Operation not permitted >> (1) >> error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm > > Installing RPMs requires root privilege.
