I did not remove rpm nor did an rpm --force. Don't remove rpm, just run an 'rpm -Uvh --force rpm-4.4.2-47.el5.i386.rpm' this should replace any configs/macros that might have been damaged. Outside of that, I dunno, I would probably do an rpm audit for all packages that have changed files and re-install those packages on top of themselves, making sure to move all the '*.rpmnew' on top of the existing files. Then verify your Internet connection works properly with yum (are you behind a proxy server?), and see what that does. -Ross ______________________________________________________________________ This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
