I just installed apt4rpm and it rocks the synaptic gui is ok too. But it's probably best if you have broadband.
Linux Magazine had an article on it

Leave off the .i386.rpm on the commands and see what happens. I haven't
used RPM for a while but you don't want the .i386.rpm on there.

That works. Thanks. And I feel dumb for not figuring it out.
But why would anyone in their right mind design it so that one of these
works, but the other doesn't?
rpm -i wxGTK-2.4.2-1.i386.rpm
rpm -e wxGTK-2.4.2-1.i386.rpm
Back to my sandbox ...

ps ax | grep rpm is clean. And the above command was even issued from
a fresh reboot. Looked for a lock file, couldn't find one. Anyone know

Because -i installs a package set and -e uninstalls a package name, e.g.
one is a bundle of files and one is already extracted which is

but you can a .tar.gz file, since the .gz hasn't been gunzipped yet..
