Before I proceed and install a non-rpm, standard tar
package. I would like to know if it is safe and that I
won't corrupt or degrade the RPM database.
What I am concerned about primarily, is if this tar
package contains a file of the same name as that in one
of the rpm packages.
Also, what if I later install an rpm package containing
a file that I installed some other way?
Another thing that I am concerned about is installing
rpm packages that are non-Redhat, such as Pacific High
Tech's or Caldera's Open Linux which use a different
version-numbering scheme than you, such that a more
recent software release version is given an earlier
rpm version number.
Are these valid concerns, or should I just proceed?
Thanks in advance:
