Can this be done > easily? With a bit of additional work, yes. Previously, we've had rpmdb-redhat and rpmdb-fedora, but they are not available anymore, since repository metadata has taken over. They could be used easily to avoid conflicts with Core and an always out-of-date rpmdb-fedora-extras, which is what I did with a small Perl script for fedora.us. The slightly modified script uses "repoquery" from yum-utils instead: $ repoquery -qal > /tmp/repoquery-qal.txt $ rpmqfcheck.pl sweep-0.9.1-3.i386.rpm => File conflict with package: lam Package conflicts with: /usr/bin/sweep It's a hack and also reports orphaned directories. Since I fixed a tiny bug in it today, it's available here: http://home.arcor.de/ms2002sep/tmp/rpmqfcheck.pl -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
