Updates to rpm, rpm-libs, and rpm-python on F10 have broken apt.
How can I revert back to the earlier version of rpm? I have the earlier rpm
packages available in /var/cache/yum/updates/packages.
The current installed version of rpm (apt broken) is rpm-4.6.0-1.fc10.i386
The earlier version of rpm where apt was working ok is,
rpm-4.6.0-0.rc3.1.fc10.i386.rpm
I tried installing the earlier version using rpm -Uvh --oldpackage
<package-name>, and that was referring to the rpm package, but there were
problems as rpm-libs, and rpm-python were at the latest version (dependency
issues).
Somehow, it seems that I need to revert all 3 rpm packages to the earlier
version at the same time, but I don't know how to do that.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Nigel.
Put all the package names in the same command. What I tend to do is
create a temporary directory, copy the RPMs to it, and run something
like "rpm -Uvh --oldpackage *.rpm".
