Subject: Problem using rpm on Windows 98.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hi

has anybody had any luck installing perl module rpm-s
from Charles Wilson's site (http://cygutils.netpedia.net/)?
I'm using Windows 98, 2nd edition.
I try to install a module using the rpm command:

rpm --install perl-DBI-1.13-1-cygwinb20.i386.rpm

and get the response

error:  perl-DBI-1.13-1-cygwinb20.i386.rpm  cannot be installed

I installed rpm using the instructions and binary provided
at http://cygutils.netpedia.net/

rpm -i -vv perl-DBI-1.13-1-cygwinb20.i386.rpm

returns:

D: counting packages to install
D: found 1 packages
D: looking for packages to download
D: retrieved 0 packages
D: New Header signature
D: Signature size: 68
D: Signature pad : 4
D: sigsize         : 72
D: Header + Archive: 380280
D: expected size   : 380280
error: /tmp/perl-DBI-1.13-1-cygwinb20.i386.rpm cannot be installed
D: found 0 source and 0 binary packages
[exited with 1]

I'm using stock B20.1 with the jan 15, 1999 cygwin1.dll

Any help appreciated
