"Permission denied" seems to suggest that maybe you weren't root when you tried to
install?
Many rpm packages install, by default, into directories which are not writeable by
regular users.
Could that be it?

On Mandrake 7.0, I tried the following and received the error below
the installation line:
rpm -Uvh up2date-gnome-2.5.3-0.6.x.i386.rpm
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Permission denied (13)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
It's not the only package that gives me the same error. I tried
updating stylesheets and the update wouldn't work. Everything says
Mandrake is compatible with RedHat -- what is going on?
I estimated that RedHat 6.2 was the nearest compatible version.
