thanks; after upgrading to rpm-2.1 as follows:

I tried; I got:

[root@carrizo rpms]# rpm -Uvh --nodeps rpm-2.2.8-1.i386.rpm
rpm                         ##################################################
bad option 'arch_cnaon' at /usr/lib/rpmrc:50
bad option 'require_group' at /etc/rpmrc:1
bad option 'build_arch' at /etc/rpmrc:11

of course, without the --nodeps, I got:

[root@carrizo rpms]# rpm -Uvh rpm-2.2.8-1.i386.rpm
bad option 'arch_cnaon' at /usr/lib/rpmrc:50
failed dependencies:
        libc.so.5 is needed by rpm-2.2.8-1
        libz.so.1 is needed by rpm-2.2.8-1
        libdb.so.2 is needed by rpm-2.2.8-1

Any clues on how to get this sorted out?
thanks again
