Install rpm-3.0.5-9 (rpm-3.0.5-9.i386.rpm at RedHat under system 6.2).  It
can handle both RPM 3.x and RPM 4.x formats.

#rpm -Ivh --force rpm-3.0.5-9.i386.rpm

Use RPM3.0.5-9 to install rpm-4.0-4.i386.rpm.

#rpm -Fvh rpm-4.0-4.i386.rpm

When finished, issue command

#rpm --rebuild

This will rebuild the rpm database in 3.x format so you can still manage the
new rpms coming out in 3.x format.

Hope this helps.

Subject: rpm upgrade


Hello:

   I have rpm-3.0-6 and want to upgrade to rpm-4.0-4, but when I try it
says:

only packages with major numbers <= 3 are supported by this version of RPM
error: rpm-4.0-4.i386.rpm cannot be installed

How could I upgrade?


Thanks in advance...

J. Carlos Cristobal
