I removed rpm and rpm-devel packages. How do I get them back? I tried to simply select them with Yast and hit okay. It asks me to insert CD 1, so I do....but then Yast2 complains that it can't install 54 packages. You guessed it...because it needs RPM.
On a side note, I am terrified about re-starting my machine because Yast doesn't seem to know about ANY packages I've installed now.
Not my brightest (nor my dumbest, unfortunately) moment.
I'm sure several of you are laughing. Heck, I am. Your help would be greatly appreciated nonetheless.
find the rpm.rpm on the CD and do su cd / cpio -i --make-directories < /path/to/rpm.rpm rpm -ivh /path/to/rpm.rpm
