Initially I posted a question about not being able to find any MySQL package information through rpm system. I have done some investigation and have more specific information now. It seems as though the package information was somehow removed from rpm data base. The following is what I've done the results I got. I can find the name of the rpm file that is associated with the version of MySQL I'm running. But that rpm file is nowhere in my system! Furthermore, I cannot get any information about the rpm from rpm manager, as if something just wiped out the rpm from my system! What could have happened and how can I go about rebuilding the information? Thank you in advance $ ps -awx | grep mys* $ 1009 ?
