Every time I see a new release of rpm, I get the shivers. Today's breakage:
rpm-4.3.3 ain't exactly a "new release".
rpm -e <list> used to work even if some rpms in the list weren't installed in the first place. As of 4.3.3 (on ia64), attempting to erase a non-installed rpm causes a fatal error. Why? I wanted it gone. If it's already gone, so much for the better. So now I have to first query the list of installed rpms from that list, then erase them (with all sorts of race conditions imaginable between the two operations) - or is there some magic option that I can't find when saying rpm --help that will restore the previous behaviour - or should I use --force?
Hint: If not in bugzilla, then it's not a bug. But you're forgiven, ia64 ain't exactly pleasant. ;-) 73 de Jeff _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
