Hi list, first time here I've got a part of my working system trashed due to the file system corruption. Large portion of /usr is gone. I do have rpm and yum working and I can produce a list of broken packages. How do I 'refresh' (like rpm -F package.rpm) a list of packages with yum? At this moment, I am thinking about writing a perl script because I don't want to do a full reinstall. # pseudocode foreach file in the list_of_installed_pkgs { if ( package is broken "rpm -qV" && packaege in not 'local' ) rpm -e --nodeps $package; yum install $package } That's highly inefficient, I know. Before I proceed with my script, I?d like to ask yum gurus is there any better solution? TIA, Konstantin -- Konstantin Antselovich konstantin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
