Folks,
I was trying to install the "Phoebe" rpms last night, using Apt and
Synaptic, and being extremely concious of wierd cross-dependencies, thought I
was doing fine. But at one point apt and synaptic quit working properly, though
I stayed completelty away from u.g.'ing them and RPM till the last. But when I
investigated further, I tried to install a superfluous rpm manually (-Uvvh)All
appears well untill the installation itself, then RPM unceremoniously segfaults.
I've looked at my logfiles, ran "tail -f /var/log/messages" hunted through /etc/
tosee if a conf file got displaced, etc. nothing. I'm willing to continue with
the upgrade, since I've read that rpm 4.1 can get buggy with redhat 8.0, and had
it hang just like the RPM site describes, and the Phoebe packages have a newer
version of RPM. but without a working version of rpm, I'm kind of stuck. Anyone
out there have any ideas as to where I go from here? Short of a re-install of my
OS? Please pardon me If I'm missing something obvious, I'm kind of new at this,
and the learning curve is steep.
Jim
