If you upgrade (not install) *ALL* the upgrades for rh5.1, and follow the
directions in the
Redhat errata, it will work fine.
Here is a symlink the errata tells you to add so glint will
work with the latest verion of rpm:
# cd /usr/lib
# mv rpmrc rpmrc.save
# ln -s rpm/rpmrc rpmrc
-----------------------------
If you don't want to use glint, use rpm itself:
What rpms are installed?
$ rpm -qa
What did the glint package install?
$ rpm -qil glint | less
What files are in the new glint package?
$ rpm -qilp glint-2.6.1-1.i386.rpm
Which glint is installed?
$ rpm -q glint
What 'X' packages are installed?
$ rpm -qa | grep -i x
What 'X' files are installed?
$ rpm -qal | grep -i x
Upgrade with all the rpm's in the current directory:
$ rpm -Uvh *.rpm
What rpm contains xsnow?
$ rpm -qf /usr/X11R6/bin/xsnow
What else can rpm do?
$ man rpm
or
$ rpm --help | less
