rrdtool RPM is corrupt

I’m running SLES11 SP4, when I try to install the RPM from the DVD or from zypper, I get the errors below. The ISO downloaded fine because the checksum matches, but the included RPM for rrdtool seems to be corrupt.

[CODE]vagrant@sles11-plain:~> sudo rpm -ivh /media/sle-sdk-11-0-0.001/suse/x86_64/rrdtool-1.4.7-0.4.1.x86_64.rpm

Hi
This is because rrdtool exists in the database of packages, it knows about it but can’t install since it can’t find /dev/sr0.

I would disable the cd repo and the add the iso image you have as a repository via YaST Software Repositories.

Thank you, that worked!
