Help!  Probably a dumb question....

I have CND 1.0, rpm 2.0.11 (via binary upgrade).  I would like to 
upgrade to rpm 2.2.8 and have done the following:
        tried rpm 2.2.8 directly -- fails, need to try 2.1.1
        upgraded to rpm 2.1.2 

When I do a rpm -qa now, I get cannot open file //var/lib/rpm/providesindex.rpm
and I can not do any further rpm stuff (unless I copy the old 2.0.11 binary
back...).

Thanks,

Use LINUX -- It works.... Win95 Crashes....  
MickySoft should rename Start to Crash per truth in advertising laws. 
Where do you want to CRASH today?
