I don't know when/how this happened, but I'm sure there's a faster way to fix this problem. My trusty old 32-bit F13 laptop seems to have several duplicate packages on it. For example: # rpm -qa | grep foofile foofile-1.0-fc14.noarch foofile-1.0-fc13.noarch The fc14 file is a "sooner" that shouldn't be there. If I use rpm -e to remove it, I suspect I'm removing all the files that also belong to the fc13 package. If I try to remove the fc13 package with the intent of immediately re-installing it, dependency hell often breaks out. Isn't there an rpm argument set that will allow me to simply "overinstall" a currently-installed package, replacing any missing files? I've tried 'rpm -ivh --replacepkgs' without success. The man page for rpm could be a bit clearer. If I can clean this all up, I want to run preupgrade and bring it up to F14 with a minimum of muss & fuss. --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
