[cobalt-users] RaQ3 looking for packages.rpm in the wrong place

["WebMost" <dbugger@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Attempting to re-install PHP, because it cannot find MySQL extensions, thus:

rpm -iv --replacepkgs
ftp://ftp.cobaltnet.com/pub/experimental/raq3/mod_php3-3.0.7-4.i386.rpm

I get:

failed to open //var/lib/rpm/packages.rpm

Of course it couldn't find it, because there is an extra slash in the
address. It should read:

/var/lib/rpm/packages.rpm

Even attempting:

rpm -e mod_php3-3.0.7-4

I get the same thing.

Any clue how to fix this?
