Hi, I have a pc that is running SuSE V7.0. I need to upgrade the rpm manager. How do I do that?

The RPM program is packaged just like any other application, and hence you would upgrade it just like you would any other package on your system. First, go to SuSE's website at ftp://ftp.suse.com and get the rpm.rpm file for the version of RPM that you seek. It can be found in this directory: ftp://ftp.suse/com/pub/suse/i386/7.X/suse/a1 where X = 0, 1, 2, or 3 and I am assuming an Intel architecture (i386) FYI: SuSE 7.0 uses rpm version 3.0.4 SuSE 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3 all use rpm version 3.0.6 Then, try this as root: rpm --version (to see your current version) rpm -Uvh rpm.rpm rpm --version (to see new version) Also, to see the version contained in a package without actually installing it, try this: rpm -qpi rpm.rpm Hope this helps, Andy
