I just tried that Bob,

[root@localhost realtek]# yum install rpm
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/yum", line 22, in ?

    import rpm
ImportError: librpm-4.3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory


I just read on a forum that if someone could send me the /bin/rpm file then
I could re-install the original RH package via RPM?


Do you have the Fedora rescue CD ? If so:

mkdir /mnt/rescue
mount -o loop /mnt/cdrom/Fedora/base/stage2.img /mnt/rescue
/mnt/rescue/usr/bin/rpm -Uvh <path to original rpm package>

Thanks,

Nick

Hello,

I accidentally removed the RPM package. The only way I can think to
get it back is to find the RPM from Fedora Core 2 as a .tar.gz file.

Does anyone have any idea's?

I'm running Fedore Core 2.

Many Thanks

Nick,

Try "yum install rpm" might work.
