Hello SuSE people.
Tonight I went to install the package sharutils from the 9.2 disks.
It would not install and gave me the following error. I have no idea
what it means. Anybody can explain/rectify this???
---------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR(InstTarget:E_RpmDB_subprocess_failed)

Thanks for any help/guidance.
