Re: Upgrade Rpm from 3 to 4

["Gerard O'Reilly" <oreilly ssltbivdc com>]

Thanks for the advice but when I do what you suggest I get a dependency
error as below.

[root@vdc2 /tmp]# rpm -Uvh db3*
error: failed dependencies:
        libc.so.6.1(GLIBC_2.0)   is needed by db3-3.1.17-10
        libc.so.6.1(GLIBC_2.1)   is needed by db3-3.1.17-10
        libc.so.6.1(GLIBC_2.1.3)   is needed by db3-3.1.17-10
        libc.so.6.1(GLIBC_2.2)   is needed by db3-3.1.17-10
        libc.so.6.1   is needed by db3-3.1.17-10


Then when I go to install the GLIBC rpm I get a Segmentation Fault as below:

[root@vdc2 /tmp]# rpm -Uvh glibc-2.1.3-23.i386.rpm
Segmentation fault

When I check the version it tells me its version 4 but this is cause I
forced the install before.  I dont actually believe that version 4 is
properly installed.

[root@vdc2 /tmp]# rpm --version
RPM version 4.0.2

Then when I try to rebuild DB i get the following:

[root@vdc2 /tmp]# rpm --rebuilddb
/usr/lib/rpm/rpmdb: error while loading shared libraries: libdb-3.1.so:
cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory

and when I try to install the rpm itself I get:

[root@vdc2 /tmp]# rpm -ivv rpm-4.0.2-8.i386.rpm

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks very much in advance.  Regards,

when i went to use RPM to do this it told me i could onlt install < version
3.  Howeer, following extensive research ont he Net I found out that you
could upgrade to version 3.5 of rpm and from there upgrade to version 4.
Well it didnt work at all. Now I am getting dependency errors for glibc,
glib common, db1, db3 and every time I download an rpm and try to install it
it has other dependencies.  I even tried force (what else could I try?).
