Hi !

I wanted to install add on software using rpm format.

I followed the instructions under http://cygwin.cjb.net/,
downloaded and installed the rpm 3.0.6 binary using
cd /; tar xvzf ...

Did a rpm --initdb

Now after trying to install the forst package, rpm complains
about the following and core dumps:

andreas@AKLEMM ~
$ rpm -i /dos/software/cygwin/mktemp-1.5-1.i386-cygwin.rpm
failed to open /etc/mtab: No such file or directory
assertion "fd && fd->magic == FDMAGIC" failed: file "rpmio.c", line 428
      0 [sig] rpm 792 stackdump: Dumping stack trace to rpm.exe.stackdump
Aborted (core dumped)

Any idea why ? Or is perhaps rpm not recommended ?
