As a slight aside, one thing about "yum reinstall" that I find strange is that it does not reinstall the dependencies (unless there needs to be some other flag to make that happen). Example: $ sudo yum reinstall libRmath Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit, remove- : with-leaves Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * fedora: mirrors.servercentral.net * rpmfusion-free: mirror.nexcess.net * rpmfusion-free-updates: mirror.nexcess.net * rpmfusion-nonfree: mirror.nexcess.net * rpmfusion-nonfree-updates: mirror.nexcess.net * updates: mirrors.servercentral.net Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package libRmath.x86_64 0:3.0.1-2.fc18 will be reinstalled --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ================================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size ================================================================================ Reinstalling: libRmath x86_64 3.0.1-2.fc18 updates 115 k Transaction Summary ================================================================================ Reinstall 1 Package Total download size: 115 k Installed size: 214 k Is this ok [y/N]: Exiting on user Command Your transaction was saved, rerun it with: yum load-transaction /tmp/yum_save_tx.2013-06-02.09-10.lvKxOg.yumtx when we do have dependencies (libRmath-devel) also installed. In my view both should be reinstalled. Ranjan ____________________________________________________________ FREE 3D EARTH SCREENSAVER - Watch the Earth right on your desktop!
