Learned about clearing the yum cache and headers (IIRC?) from you folks on the list, but had not yet read all the yum and rpm man pages and other docs. So (out of fear or haste intelligence? ;-) never looked into the rpm status. Things were working, I was busy reading/learning and I was "happy". Now I'll "rpm -qa" it and see what I can find. Must be other stuff. Anyway, thanks for the heads up.
You might want to go have a look back though the archives for the cause of these problems. http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2006-March/062568.html This will give you a list of duplicated packages... # rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME}.%{arch}\n" | sort | uniq -d Will. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
