333	rpm 4.13.0 does not accept backslashes in paths	Lewis Rosenthal		"It seems that when installing a package which is not in the current directory, rpm requires slashes as path separators, which is not very OS/2-friendly.

Example:

{{{
[C:\] rpm -i --replacepkgs c:\var\temp\myshinynew.rpm <Enter>
error: open of c:vartempmyshinynew.rpm failed: No such file or directory
}}}

Using slashes works as expected.
