Hello,
I want to reinstall a rpm package with the same version for test
purposes.
For example:
1. rpm -i package_2.1.0
2. rpm -u package_2.1.0
Then the system says package already installed.
If i force it the system makes a new installation, but i will do an
update
how can i make it?
Have you tried --replacepkgs or --oldpackge.
If that doesn't work then a 'rpm -Uvh --force some.rpm' should work.
Bob
Thanks ,
--replacepkgs works
--oldpackage seems to work only with versions, that are older then the installed
The --force option, so my little experience is similary to a new installation. Or is this wrong ?
