Installing a RPM file in Fedora 5


Hi!
I have tried to install a rpm file that i downloaded, and i found this answer on an another forum:



To install .rpm packages you do:
rpm -ivh package.rpm



But when i do this i get this message:

error: unpacking of archive failed on file /opt/cxoffice/README;467fbc8a: cpio: MD5 sum mismatch




What am i doing wrong?

The RPM file itself is possibly corrupt. Download the rpm file again.
