This is a happy...I've been happy before and this is what happy feels like.
But...
You knew there was a but didn't you?
Just maybe it should check the dependencies BEFOOOOORE it downloads the rpm.
For rpm-2.2.7-1 it was no big deal. Something big would have been...ummmm...
an unhappy.
Also, it was
rpm -Uvh ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/code/rpm/rpm-2.2.7-1.i386.rpm
Not
rpm -Uvh ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/code/redhat/rpm/rpm-2.2.7-1.i386.rpm
But that wasn't hard to figure out. Just leaving others know.
Thanks
:-)
