You must be root to install/remove rpms. You can read the rpm db as a
normal user, but you can't write to it.

Thanks for the quick response. One more question. What does the following mean and why I am I getting this output. Can I fix it?

[root@localhost apt]# gedit

(gedit:1131): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
[root@localhost apt]#

Thanks,

john
