Topic: RPM Errors

[Steven]

Hi guys

I am trying to run the rpm to install snmp tools and I get this error.
 
rpm -ivh --nodeps --force ucd-snmp-4.2.1-7.i386.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:ucd-snmp               warning: /etc/rc.d/init.d/snmpd created as /etc/rc.d/init.d/snmpd.rpmnew
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/share/doc/ucd-snmp-4.2.1/README.mib2c;3ec0e5f9: cpio: read failed - Bad file descriptor

The README.mib2c wasn't in the said directory, but was in
usr/share/doc/ucd-snmp/4.2.5
so I copied it across, but I still have the same error.
Any ideas, links to other rpms?

Thanks
Steven

It looks like you are trying to install 4.2.1-7 over version 4.2.5, but your rpm file is corrupted - it is giving read errors.

Thanks, I when you said I was installing over 4.2.5 I just caried on with the other sections, and its now working
