I haven't the faintest idea how it happened. None of the usual (and some unusual stuff) would fix it. A quick check showed that it was a database problem only, all the files were still there. I was able to add the missing stuff back into the database by using --nodeps. 2) I prefer to install perl modules via the CPAN tool (even though I am hosting RPMPAN). Some packages require certain perl modules as dependencies. Installing those perl modules and then using --nodeps on the final package was one way of installing. I'm sure there are others. -Chuck -- Quantum Linux Laboratories - ACCELERATING Business with Open Technology * Education | -=^ Ad Astra Per Aspera ^=- * Integration | http://www.quantumlinux.com * Support | chuckw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "M stands for magic, mystery or matrix; according to taste." --Edward Witten
