    i downloaded all files on a directory called httpd. i kept httpd rpm file on different directory though.

    now when i tried to run rpm -Uvh *.rpm it said all those packages were already installed. now i went back to the directory where rpm file on httpd was placed and tried to install it. unfortunately it still threw dependencies error. so i was trying to install all those download dependent rpm files manually. i installed two files manually. but on installing third rpm file it started to throw error given below

    
    /usr/sbin/rpm_share[470]: 2162854 Illegal instruction(coredump)
    
    

    now even when i try to query packages using rpm command it throws same error.

    i tried to watch log files by cat /var/adm/ras/errlog and it shows something like aix Unable to generate symptom string.Global

    A re-install (i.e. in smit terms "OVERWRITE same or newer versions" ) of the rpm.rte LPP resolved this.
