Hi Andre, I got the same results with commands as you recommended. The point is that although I can see the mysqld-max is running, rpm -qf suggests a package name for what is running, I cannot see the package in my system! I think that I deleted the rpm, and somehow the package information was removed from rpm data base. What concerns me is how this will affect the process of future upgrades from mysql rpm's. If I understand the issues correctly rpm manager not finding the necessary information in its data base will not be able to apply the upgrade correctly. How can I fix this? Can I fix it by downloading the rpm, and trying an update to the already installed package, just to rebuild the database? --- Andre Costa <acosta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Sat, 13 Dec 2003 14:24:48 -0800 (PST) > Leila Lappin <damovand@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > > > 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.
