RE: [PLUG] What am I missing about RPM?
|
Ok, here's my ideas--
I have NO ideas about up2date and rpmfind (haven't used them -- usually use
source or yellowdog's YUP -- which is really great by the way)
Anyway, rpm has a couple of options that you might try.
The first is
rpm -Uhv <package>
That should do a normal update. the 'hv' means verbose and print hashes (it
is how I like to use it, they aren't needed, but, it doesn't look like it
has frozen, which is good for impatient people like me).
If that doesn't work, try
rpm -Uhv --force <package>
-or-
rpm -ihv --force <package>
Either way, I'm asking a friend of mine down here (in Sydney) who is
producing his own version of RH 7.2 your question and I'll his ideas (if he
has any).
