Just make sure to backup your rpm database beforehand. Unless someone wise than I speaks up, I believe that is the only way to accomplish what you want without figuring out how to manually edit the rpm database without corrupting it. And I don't know that anyone would recommend that. -greg _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
