ftp://ftp.linux.tucows.com/pub/distributions/Mandrake/Mandrake-crypto/ is a good place to get these RPMs. For the Newbies Information Cheers, --Al Philip Trauring <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > --------------------------------------------- > Attachment: > MIME Type: multipart/alternative > --------------------------------------------- >i dontīt have a good idea now, perhaps you can try 2 find an rpm od rpmlib >in a older version or you r ssl-rpms. > >please write me the exact verosoinnubers of all your ssh/ssl-packages and >your mandryke version, iīll ompare with mine, ok ? >romeo I have Mandrake 7.1 installed and I downloaded the latest versions off the Mandrake encryption mirrors: openssh-2.1.1p3-3mdk.i586.rpm openssh-askpass-2.1.1p3-3mdk.i586.rpm openssh-clients-2.1.1p3-3mdk.i586.rpm openssh-server-2.1.1p3-3mdk.i586.rpm openssl-0.9.5a-3mdk.i586.rpm 561K openssl-devel-0.9.5a-3mdk.i586.rpm The openssl rpms installed okay, but the openssh gave the error I mentioned. I did a search on rpmfind and there are no rpms called rpmlib. On the web there is something at http://rikers.org/rpmbook/node113.html but I couldn't figure out the connection exactly. All I could think of was that perhaps the HelixCode updater that I use changed one of the files on my computer. Do you have a file called rpmlib on your system?
