Hi, Having some spare time, I decided to try how Quake2 performs with a Matrox G400 graphics adapter. To this end, I downloaded and installed ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com:/idstuff/quake2/unix/quake2-3.20-glibc-6.i386.rpm. It was complaining about a missing libglide2x.so, but I forced the installation anyway with rpm -ivh --force. Once installed, I can't run the game (don't remember why), so I decided to uninstall it with rpm -e quake2. No error message and everything appears to be OK. Googling a little, I found a Quake2 RPM package targeted for FC5 (very close to Rawhide) at http://www.chez.com/colinf/rpms/quake2/quake2-r0.16.1-io1.i386.rpm. Let's try this version. Unfortunately, it can't be installed because of conflicts with some files of the quake2-3.20-glibc-6 package. Strange, I thought it was installed previously! Interestingly, rpm -q quake2 answers quake2-3.20-glibc-6. Maybe an error during the installation process? OK for a reinstallation of this package with the hope that the uninstall script will properly uninstall it this time. Since rpm -q quake2 reported it was already installed, I ran rpm -Uvh quake2-3.20-glibc-6.i386.rpm. No error at all, and no complain about this package was already installed. And now, rpm -e complains about multiple instances of this package. In fact, rpm -q quake2 now gives two identical lines with quake2-3.20-glibc-6! rpm -e --allmatches quake2 didn't help. Rebuilding the database with rpm --rebuilddb didn't help. yum remove quake2 seems to perform as expected, i.e. as if the package was correctly erased. But a subsequent rpm -q quake2 reveals that there are still two instances of this package! And I have the strong feeling that if I once again update this package with rpm -Uvh, I'll get three instances of quake2-3.20-glibc-6. Is there anybody out there understanding what's going wrong with rpm/yum? When hobby turns into system administration headache ;-) Many thanks, Émeric -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
