I just posted this question last week and got no reply. Download all
the stuff in the RPM ftp site.
My rpm is now working with %_dbapi 3 and %_dbapi_rebuild 3. My problem
was that I was upgrading from redhat-6.1 and I couldn't get db3
installed inorder to install the new rpm. db3-3.1.14 installs with the
old rpm I think, but the first time I did it I used the tar rpm-3.0.5,
and this will get you started. I had to really mess around with this
stuff so I really couldn't explain how I did it but search all your
emails with "rpm-4" in the subject line and you will get the info that I
got from this developers list. I had previously compiled cvs rpm to fix
rawhide rpm and used _dbapi 1 because of developer posts on this list
but I can't really figure out if the cvs is the reason why I got it
working again this time. It seems like the rpm-4.0-0.45 rpms all
installed and worked. The last thing I can remember doing was copying
/bin/rpm to /usr/local/lib/rpm because the rpm-4.0 tar wanted to install
everything in /usr/local even though I changed the makefile and the cvs
did not? I had 2 different rpm binaries from all the different
experiments I was doing. Make sure that you get a working binary of rpm
incase you mess something up so you won't have to completely reinstall.
As long as you have a network connection this won't be any problem
unless you can't compile any rpm. This was my problem because I had
missing db3 header files and I couldn't correctly duplicate the db3 rpm
install paths and directories with the tar db3. I erased my whole rpm
database several times resulting in the installation of ~2,500 rpms more
than a few times.
Good luck.
