Seth, that's a useful piece of code for freshening up directories, but have you any idea where these RPM utils spend all their time? Any librpm app really, either Python or command line, seems to take forever sending my load average sky-high, when all it [superficially] has to do it read some formatted header from 1000-odd files, which to my mind should be the work of seconds. Cheers, Phil
