You really don't want to do this (a --force) if you can avoid it. The best thing, if possible, is to get the whole batch of packages needed at once (ie rpm, popt and the things that depend on rpm - which is stuff like the snmp daemon from what I remember), and upgrade them all at once. ie bung them all in /tmp/pkgs and do rpm -Fvh /tmp.pkgs/*.rpm Nigel. -- [ Nigel Metheringham Nigel.Metheringham@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ] [ - Comments in this message are my own and not ITO opinion/policy - ]
