JRT, thank you for the quick reply. Just a question: After I installed the
rpm-4... RPM, I have two RPM now (rpm -q rpm): rpm-4.0.2-8 and
rpm-4.0.3-0.91. RPM still seems to work, but I am not sure if I am
supposed to have two RPM installations? Is this normal? I will
upgrade/install the rest of the packages later.
