Folks, I was trying to install the "Phoebe" rpms last night, using Apt and Synaptic, and being extremely concious of wierd cross-dependencies, thought I was doing fine. But at one point apt and synaptic quit working properly, though I stayed completelty away from u.g.'ing them and RPM till the last. But when I investigated further, I tried to install a superfluous rpm manually (-Uvvh)All appears well untill the installation itself, then RPM unceremoniously segfaults. I've looked at my logfiles, ran "tail -f /var/log/messages" hunted through /etc/ tosee if a conf file got displaced, etc. nothing. I'm willing to continue with the upgrade, since I've read that rpm 4.1 can get buggy with redhat 8.0, and had it hang just like the RPM site describes, and the Phoebe packages have a newer version of RPM. but without a working version of rpm, I'm kind of stuck. Anyone out there have any ideas as to where I go from here? Short of a re-install of my OS? Please pardon me If I'm missing something obvious, I'm kind of new at this, and the learning curve is steep.
