Yo, Devon, you've won that bet ... :) I installed the new rpmdb-redhat-7.2-0.20010924.i386.rpm (built for Redhat 7.2, as it seems to me) on my Redhat 6.2 (!) and it installed without any error message that I knew of. And this is how it works now (the short version first): $ rpm -q --redhatprovides libcrypto.so.0 openssl095a-0.9.5a-11 long version: $ rpm -q -vv --redhatprovides libcrypto.so.0 D: opening db index /usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/Packages rdonly mode=0x0 D: locked db index /usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/Packages D: opening db index /usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/Providename rdonly mode=0x0 openssl095a-0.9.5a-11 D: closed db index /usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/Providename D: closed db index /usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat/Packages Devon, Nitebirdz: Thanks a lot for your time ... normally I simply try to install a new version of a program that does not behave here: but if it's about things like installing new parts for the rpm-sytem I'm extremely careful: IIRC I've read about folks who ruined their rpm system with some wrong key-strokes ... just to let you know how important your help was for me.
