Re: redhat 7.0

[David Jez <dave.jez@seznam.cz>]

Hi Carsten,

try this:

  1. install package rpm-3.0.5 from last rh-6.2 updates
  2. then install package rpm-4.0.4
  this may will be OK, because rpm-3.0.5 know rpm-4 packages format.

Try read this, but I'm afraid you will not understand:

good luck
