hi Craig,
I built rpm-4 from the src.rpm in ftp.rpm.org, since many people advise
against using the rawhide rpm. You'll need db3 from there as well. Once
rpm-4/db3 are built and installed, youll need to edit /usr/lib/rpm/macros
before running rpm --rebuilddb. Look for the lines %dbapi and
%dbapi_rebuild. %dbapi should be "1" (since your current database is in
db1 format) and %dbapi_rebuild is either "1" or "3" depending on whether
you want to switch to db3 for the database or not. I ended using db1 for
everything since all the 6.2 rpms are using that.
For Xfree-4.0.1 (from rawhide) you will also need pam-0.72, kudzu-0.49,
Xconfigurator-4.3.20, modutils-2.3.11, also from rawhide. pam-0.72
provides the system.auth pam file, and Xconfigurator provides the card
list for Xfree. The rest are needed for pam and Xconfigurator.
rgds,
--shing
