Hi Marco,
I am using Redhat 6.2. I had RPM 3.0.4-0.48 installed, since that's the version
that came with my distribution CD. I tried upgrading to version 4.0.0.67.6x of
RPM, and then tried 'rpm -qa' and saw that my installed packages disapeared.
It's kind of straight forward, maybe my rpm command to upgrade wasn't correct.
I don't remember what I used, but I guess it was something like 'rpm -U rpm...'
Thanks,
Etienne
