I'm new to Linux, but I promise I never ever nowhere under no
circumstances would upgrade an rpm.rpm with *--nodeps* ...
(exept I really knew what I do .. but new as I am to Linux: there's
always some doubt .... :))
I'd cd as root into the directory where I have the new bzip.rpm and
RPM.rpm, like that:
# cd /path/to/where/these/two/rpms/are
then upgrade bzip.rpm *and* rpm.rpm at one go with a single command:
#rpm -Uvh rpm-3.0.5-9.6x.i386.rpm bzip2-1.0.1-3.i386.rpm
and if then the machine says 'no, I can't do this' then I'd stop going on
and write for an advice from this list or somewhere else.
But if everything is OK til here I'd try to install with options -ivh (or
upgrade with -Uvh, if you already have an older version ...) Xauth.
Hope it works ... I am rather new to Linux, *please* wait a minute til
somebody else from this list says it's okay with my advice. ... if in
doubt,simply check
man rpm
Good luck.
Regards.
Wolfgang
