The "No such fule or directory" error message should be clear in this regard. Back to option -f, it's a list of packages when used with e.g. -i, so you can do stuff like rpm -if /example/list.txt with "list.txt" containing a list of package file names. About the original problem, it's possible to restore a single file via rpm2cpio, and its security context with restorecon. Unless the package does special things in its %post scriptlet. -- Fedora release 19 (Schrödinger’s Cat) - Linux 3.9.1-301.fc19.x86_64 loadavg: 0.15 0.15 0.12 -- 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 Have a question?
