rpm (4.17.0+dfsg1-1) unstable; urgency=medium INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE! Read BEFORE upgrading! The rpm package has DROPPED support for the Berkeley DB database format! The new rpm package (4.17 or higher) will NOT be able to access the information about the packages installed by earlier rpm versions! If you have used the "rpm" command to install any packages, you must run `rpmdb --exportdb > rpm.data` BEFORE performing this upgrade and then `rpmdb --importdb < rpm.data` after the upgrade is complete. -- Peter Pentchev Sat, 20 Nov 2021 23:45:50 +0200 rpm (4.8.0-4) experimental; urgency=low The rpm default configuration no longer uses system package database. For each user, own database in ~/.rpmdb will be created. This avoids errors while running rpm as user, what is anyway most common use case on Debian. -- Michal Čihař Thu, 22 Apr 2010 09:48:55 +0200 rpm (4.7.0-9) unstable; urgency=low rpm package now creates database on installation. If you did use rpm for installing any packages, please refer to README.Debian how to recover the database. -- Michal Čihař Wed, 15 Jul 2009 22:33:54 +0200
