        Ok, then the rpm isn't truncated....and yes, I got all 3 of
them.....and still, if I try to rpm -Uvh or -Fvh by hand, I get:

[rootvox grpmi]# rpm -Uvh glib
glibc-2.1.3-18.3mdk.i586.rpm glibc-profile-2.1.3-18.3mdk.i586.rpm
glibc-devel-2.1.3-18.3mdk.i586.rpm
[rootvox grpmi]# rpm -Uvh glibc-*
cannot read header at 0 for dependency check

        Even after doing a -Kvv that seems to be correct

[rootvox grpmi]# rpm -Kvv glibc-2.1.3-18.3mdk.i586.rpm

gpg: Signature made Thu 18 Jan 2001 01:58:41 PM CST using DSA key ID 22458A98
gpg: Good signature from "Linux Mandrake Security Team

gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!

gpg: Fingerprint: BB73 7822 CB91 B327 2191 68CC 9AA8 D0D0 2245 8A98

        (I'm guessing the gpg error comes from the fact that I have no gpg
installed)

        So....now I'm clueless about this....any ideas from anybody?
