Well, to patch you can just do 'gzip -dc patch-2.xx.gz | patch -p0 -s'
and you'll be fine. The only problem is it will screw up your rpm
database, and I guess that was what I was concerned with..
I think having to endure problems when I could fix them very quickly had
I had the proper rpm makes me think of trashing the database and the
'pristine' state :(
