I imagine that there would be a whole lot more if they were gnome applications. It can make problems. And so it would be good that if packages were upgraded then rpm should detect that a link or library was not updated and upon next reboot overwrite them as required and restart services if required. > And should be upgraded in runlevel 3 (Sorry forgot to mention that) > Another thing that would be good is if services were updated then part of the output at the end of the updating process should be some sort of message to check possible changes to configurations and to at least manually restart the relevant services. Services like mysql and cyrus-imap should be stopped before the update begins and later restarted after completed. > > But as usual, that's just my 2 cents worth. > > Eli > > -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
