Re: [PLUG] Upgrading RPM

[Eric Lucas <manager@thecogentcompany.com>]

I had this problem.  I upgraded to a later version of rpm 3 (3.0.6)
and was able to install openssh just fine.  Never tried 4 after
I got
3.0.6 to work... no need.

I'm trying to upgrade the RPM to version 4.0-4 so that I can
install openssl and openssh on my RedHat 6.2 box.  However, I get
this error:

only packages with major numbers <= 3 are supported by this version
of RPM
error: rpm-4.0-4.i386.rpm cannot be installed

I tried installing it using:
rpm -Uvh --nodeps --force rpm-4.0-4.i386.rpm
but it didn't work.

Does anyone have any suggestions that don't include me manually
compiling and installing RPM4?
