Hi,
if I do:
[giovanni@badpenguin giovanni]$ rpm -qa|grep postfix
the output is:
postfix-2.0.16-2.rh9
postfix-2.0.14-1.rh9
postfix-2.0.15-1.rh9
postfix-2.0.13-2.rh9
but now I have installed only the first one (working fine); no results by deleting __db00x, rebuilding the rpm database etc...
How can I solve this issue?
TIA

Looks like rpm is correctly reporting that you did several installs (rather than updates) of this package. This can happen, especially if you use the --force qualifier. Assuming that the packages are installed on top of each other, you can correct the database "by hand" without uninstalling the files by: rpm -e --justdb --nodeps postfix-2.0.14-1.rh9 and so on for each package. This will remove that entry from the rpm database without erasing the files on disk. After that, you might verify the integrity of the desired postfix install: rpm -V postfix-2.0.16-2.rh9
If it complains about missing files or inconsistencies, you might consider re-installing it (on top of itself): rpm -e --justdb --nodeps postfix-2.0.16-2.rh9 rpm -Uvh postfix-2.0.16-2.rh9*.rpm
Read the rpm man page for more information.
Hope this helps, -Bob Arendt
