A few things (at least) to check against the installed package: rpm -q --whatrequires net-snmp rpm -q -R net-snmp (basically the opposite of --whatrequires). rpm -q --provides net-snmp That will give you an idea of what else you may need to update or what else may break if you use --force. As an extra layer of paranoia, I usually stick a --test when using any install/upgrade options. -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
