why if i did install ulb-gnome it still not running 2.8 why would -update and --check return the error below
error: cannot get exclusive lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Operation not permitted (1) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm E: could not open RPM database
Because you're running it as user, not as root.
no shit,
aha, is that the level we're on
how do you come to that conclusion?
That is the error you'd get if you tried to use rpm as a user, and I couldn't believe the apt/synaptic developers were holding an exclusive lock on the database simply by running it. red carpet just does a shared lock then. RPM v4 has multiuser capabilities, so why wouldn't they use it
running as root
Good for you.
