14.2+ newb question about upgrading a package

Hi,

I'm using 14.2+ 64-bit. I am trying to get a printer driver installed and it comes as an rpm. I tried using

Quote:

bash-5.0$ rpm2tgz brscan-skey-0.3.1-1.x86_64.rpm ERROR: rpm2cpio failed. (maybe brscan-skey-0.3.1-1.x86_64.rpm is not an RPM?)

I don't know why that is occurring. Last night, I had tried installing a driver combination package from Brother, the printer manufacturer. That ended up like this.

Code:You are going to install following packages.
mfcl2750dwpdrv-4.0.0-1.i386.rpm
brscan4-0.4.9-1.x86_64.rpm
brscan-skey-0.3.1-1.x86_64.rpm

Hit Enter/Return key.The bold part is what I'm focused on. I think my rpm2tgz command is failing because my lmdb is old. I think that because of the following:
Code:bash-5.0# slackpkg search lmdb

Looking for lmdb in package list. Please wait... DONE

The list below shows all packages with name matching "lmdb".

[ upgrade ] - lmdb-0.9.14-x86_64-1_SBo --> lmdb-0.9.25-x86_64-1

You can search specific files using "slackpkg file-search file".My problem is, I don't know how to upgrade a single package. I know how to run "slackpkg upgrade-all", but that package isn't in the list of packages currently due for an upgrade on my system.

I tried the following:
Code:bash-5.0# slackpkg upgrade lmdb*

Checking local integrity... DONE
Looking for lmdb in package list. Please wait... DONE

No packages match the pattern for upgrade. Try:

/usr/sbin/slackpkg install|reinstall

bash-5.0# man slackpkg
bash-5.0# slackpkg upgrade lmdb-0.9.14-x86_64-1_SBo

How do I upgrade a single package with "slackpkg upgrade"?
