I need to maintain an ancient RHEL 4 server. I would like to install tmux but for some reason up2date is not finding the file:

[root@378911-www2 tmux]# ls
tmux-1.6-1.rf.src.rpm
[root@378911-www2 tmux]# up2date -k . tmux-1.6-1.rf.src.rpm

Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: rhel-i386-es-4-extras...

Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: rackspace-rhel-i386-es-4-common...
Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: el4-updates...
Fetching rpm headers...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following packages you requested were not found:
tmux-1.6-1.rf.src.rpm

[root@378911-www2 tmux]# pwd
/root/tmux
[root@378911-www2 tmux]# up2date -k /root/tmux tmux-1.6-1.rf.src.rpm

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following packages you requested were not found:
tmux-1.6-1.rf.src.rpm
[root@378911-www2 tmux]#

Why might up2date be unable to find the file? I have tried installing with the filenames tmux-1.6-1.rf.src.rpm, tmux-1.6-1.rf.src, tmux-1.6-1.rf, tmux-1.6-1, tmux-1.6, a tmux.

Maybe because won't install source rpm's ? Even if you install it, tmux-1.6-1.rf.src.rpm is only the source, so you won't have tmux installed. Download the binary package (or rebuild the source package downloaded with rpmbuild)
