Sounds like you didn't update all components of rpm to 4.4.x What does # strings `which rpm`|grep librpm-4 return? Should be librpm-4.4.so if it is 4.4.x. But the error message suggests that it is still 4.3.x. And it also suggests you had to force the deinstallation of librpmdb4.3 with rpm -e --nodeps, because w/o it would output that rpm requires it. Never use --nodeps, unless there is really no other way and you are aware of the consequences. > I would reinstall rpm-libs-4.3 from an rpm, except I can't run RPM. > Any ideas? You can unpack rpm packages with rpm2cpio/cpio if rpm goes valhalla. You can also use rescue mode or sync the files from a working machine. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
