SuSE Linux: Versions since 5.1
You try to install a single package from one of the »S.u.S.E. Linux« distribution 5.1 CDs without having updated the base system. You will get an error message as:
error -2 reading header: Unknown error
The old package manager (rpm
version 2.4.x on »S.u.S.E. Linux«
5.0 ) does not recognize the new format of the packages.
There are two possibilities:
/cdrom
:
rpm -U /cdrom/unsorted/rpm/rpm.rpm rpm -U /cdrom/suse/a1/yast.rpm
Now you may install further packages using the new YaST.
Be aware that there are system programs included in YaST that make use of the
new libc.so.5
. Please do only choose this way if you're
absolutely sure what you are doing! Of course problems that may arise are
not included in our installation support!
