How to open SRC.RPM file?
The most common problem when using Red Hat Package Manager Source Format is that a specific SRC.RPM is not associated with the program. This causes the file SRC.RPM to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SRC.RPM file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Red Hat Package Manager
In this case, you should first verify that the Red Hat Package Manager application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Red Hat Package Manager into the system search engine.

Programs to open SRC.RPM file
Remember to download programs supporting SRC.RPM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Red Hat Package Manager with SRC.RPM files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SRC.RPM file to open in the Red Hat Package Manager application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Red Hat Package Manager application as the default for handling the SRC.RPM file.
Step 3. Update Red Hat Package Manager to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Red Hat Package Manager program, it is possible that Red Hat Package Manager Source Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SRC.RPM file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the SRC.RPM file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SRC.RPM file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected SRC.RPM file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SRC.RPM files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SRC.RPM files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SRC.RPM except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the SRC.RPM file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SRC.RPM file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SRC.RPM file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
