Hi,
I'm using a very reliable and modified RHL 4.2 system with various
upgrades. I'm using rpm 2.5.3-4.2 and libc-5.4.34-1 with Glint
2.1.5-1. (Ouch, very old glint.) Anyway, I'd like to upgrade Glint
or repair the current version so it can work prior to my upgrading my
overall system to glibc. When I run glint now, here's what I get:
---snip---
--Unable to read /usr/lib/rpmrc
Glint Graphical Package Manager -- version 2.1.5

self.db = rpm.opendb()
rpm.error: cannot open database in /var/lib/rpm

---snip---
I guess this is just because I've got incompatible versions of stuff
around. I've got python-lib 1.18-1 and python-everythingelse 1.4-4.
All help would be appreciated!
TIA!
