unable to use rpm - task not in system?

[hush]

hey all, 

i have a recent install of johnny's pi11 image, and for whatever reason i am unable to use rpm: 

>@rpm install c
>;
>; Fetching C.PKG...
>;
MCR    -- Task not in system
>;
>; Error! There was some kind of error fetching the requested
>; file, and I cannot recover. Please investigate!
>@ <EOF>

>; #### **** #### **** #### **** #### **** #### **** #### **** #### ****
>;
>; There was some kind of error while running RPM, and I cannot recover.
>; Please investigate, and optionally send a bug report to
>; bqt@mim / mim::bqt
>;
>@ <EOF>

i have not made any changes to the INStalled tasks, so i am not entirely sure what it wants that could be missing :)

appreciate your help as always!

What does the configuration for RPM look like? (RPM CONFIG)
And what packages are installed? (RPM LIST)
Also, did the boot process run to finish and the console terminal logged
out, or did something throw an error at boot time?
