hi jim.... i'm not sure what you've done... but.. you can get a copy of the rpmcpio.sh file from http://www.redhat.com/archives/rpm-list/2003-June/msg00367.html. you can also review instructions for using/running the file. basically, you'll do './rpm2cpio.sh foo.rpm. | cpio -idv' this will get you the contents of the rpm package... let me know if you have any questions... -bruce -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Jim Douglas Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2006 6:10 PM To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: FC4 hosed >From: "Michael Wiktowy" <michael.wiktowy@xxxxxxxxx> >Reply-To: For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> >To: "For users of Fedora Core releases" <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> >Subject: Re: FC4 hosed >Date: Tue, 24 Oct 2006 15:05:13 -0400 > >On 10/24/06, bruce <bedouglas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >>hey jim.... >> >> >>you're going to need to get a copy of a script rpm2cpio, and use it to >>rebuild/install the rpm app. >> >>steps >>-get a copy of the rpm2cpio script from googling >>-install the script per instructions >>-get a copy of the rpm rpm and download it >>-run the rpm2cpio on the rpm file to install the rpm app >> >>this should get you your rpm functionality back >> >>you can then use this to reinstall yum >> >>you can then use yum to reinstall rpm/yum, and update the rpm database... >> >>have fun! > > >Is there no solution with the rescue disk using --dbpath and --root >options? >Or does the rescue disk not include a standalone rpm? > >/Mike >-- >fedora-list mailing list >fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx >To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list I created a rpm448.cpio file Do you know the cpio command to install this created file?
