Hi, in the past always when I got new RPM's I just made a "rpm -Fv *" from the location of the new RPM's to scan for new packages and make the update after the successful update, the result was displayed. But now I think since one of the last rpm-3.0-*-updates I only get a lot of messages like this: package gnome-core-1.2.1-6mdk is already installed -> I never got this befor (when nothing needs to be updated - the result was a blank line) I also get a lot of other garbage messages about courious conflicts but no action takes place ! I know there was a lot changes in rpm but I don't know if this is a bug ? or should I specify another cmd (options for rpm) now for update all ? Thanks for your help Udo
