[PLUG] Redhat 6.2 RPM upgrade

[Rupert Heesom <raheesom@navpoint.com>]

I'm running RH6.2, and RPM 3.0.5.  I'm trying to upgrade the RPM
database to RPM 4 so that I can handle the new RH7 RPMs.   Supposedly an
upgrade to RPM 4 is possible without upgrading the entire distro to RH7.

I downloaded the RPMs for RPM 4:  rpm-4.0-4.i386.rpm, and the devel rpm.

When I tried to install these, I got dependancy issues:  glibc 2.2, "db1
1.85" seemed to be the main extra modules needed.

Now when I'm trying to install these modules, I have a whole lot more
dependancy issues.....

I'm wondering whether in fact I _can_ upgrade my RPM database without
upgrading 1/2 my system?
