This happened to me recently. Quite a number of packages failed to install, but their records were erased from the rpm db -- at least I got messages that the packages were not installed -- even though the older versions were still on the machine. The messed up database made it impossible to use the rpm's that up2date had just downloaded. Some stuff, including the gnome text (I forget which package that is), were just gone. Rebuilding the db didn't work, but I could run up2date-nox on just the missing packages, one by one, and repair everything. I found which packages needed to be fetched again by testing those listed on the up2date logs against 'rpm -q' all those that gave me the 'not installed' message needed upgrading. --- Ryan Golhar <golharam@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi all, > > I recently upgraded a bunch of workstations to > update 4. > > I've noticed that the text for icons, menus, > taskbar, messageboxes, > everything is now missing in GNOME.
