What the dickens is going on here?? : 

[root at localhost btth]# pwd
/home/btth
[root at localhost btth]# ls|grep pine
pine
pine-4.64-5.lvn7.i386.rpm
[root at localhost btth]# rpm -ivh pine-4.64-5.lvn7.i386.rpm
error: open of Privoxy failed: No such file or directory
error: open of doesnt support FTP. Please fix your setup.  failed: No 
such file or directory
[root at localhost btth]#

The rpm is there. Why doesn't it at least try to install it? What the 
____ does Fedora think privoxy or ftp have to do with rpm?? (Btw, "pine" 
here is just a text file of old messages I've saved about pine; and -Uvh 
instead of -ivh makes no difference, either, anyway.)
