    Hi

    running rh8 and tryed doing following:
    # rpm -Uvh rpm-4.1-1.06.i386.rpm

    But got following error:
    Unable to open /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc for reading: No such file or directory.

    A previous post on 6 april 2001 looks similar and a copy is below -

    RE: rmp is hosed? HELP!
    Ok - you are stuck because you can not use rpm without rpmrc, and you
    can not install rpmrc from the rpm RPM without a working version of RPM,
    or using rpm2cpio and cpio to extract it. I am not sure what happened,
    but I have sent you a copy of rpmrc directly.

    >From above, could someone please send copy of rpmrc with instructions for copying/installing it before attempting installation of rpm4.1. I think this will fix the problem.

    thanks,
