I don't have an rpm at hand, I cant vouch for it but busybox has a rpm applet which seems to claim an ability to unpack RPM packages. In a terminal window type:

Code:
busybox   rpm   --help


7zip (and maybe other archivers as well) can unpack RPM files if you have 7zip on your system.

Try

Code:
petget <name.rpm>


(it should work to click on rpms but the mimetypes are not set up right on some puppy versions).

If that doesn't work - get a deb instead, or get someone to make a pet for you.

Hi Arun01

If I get a minute I will see if I can download a RPM myself and try and duplicate the error. My initial speculation is that maybe you are running a retro system with out of date libzip libraries?

You can try jemimah's suggestion and see if that helps , also try "busybox rpm -i ksh.rpm" rather than hust "rpm -i ksh.rpm" and see if that makes a difference. The few times I have downloaded a RPM I have used 7zip to unpack it, rpm *should* work according to this post,
