Hi,
 Yum 3.2.11 is available and there are a lot of changes in this round:

Hi Seth,
Is this release intended to work with RHEL/C5?
I still had "Error: None".
Patch on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431144#c5 fixed it.



There's more to this bug than just that. I've got a couple of
replicators that aren't fixed by your change.



I see. Thanks for the update. I'll be using this version for testing servers only then.

There is a bug though. Reinstall from a local rpm doesn't work.
reinstall doesn't work like that. It reinstalls the installed package,
it doesn't act on the local package.

See what I mean?


There are times when reinstall from a local package is desirable.
For instance, lets say I want to use latest official fwbuilder package, which comes in rpm package from sourceforge, but doesn't offer any yum repository. So i download *fwbuilder*.rpm and I can install it just fine with "yum install *fwbuilder*.rpm", processing dependencies as needed. Sometime later, I accidently delete a file belonging to libfwbuilder. I still have the original package, so I can do something like :

rpm -e --nodeps libfwbuilder
rpm -ivh libfwbuilder*.rpm

(is there a command line for rpm reinstall?) It would be nice if I can use yum reinstall for that. Or (even better) something that can do "I want to install this package, install/reinstall/upgrade/downgrade if you have to".

Regards,

Fajar
