I have seen some buggy rpms that will error out during an update and leave the original package showing installed in the database. In addition the package is not removable with the rpm -e command. So you can rpm -e --allmatches rpmname (and if necessary use --nodeps) to remove the offending mess then do a new install of the rpm. tom berkley tom strickland wrote: > > >What does > ># rpm --rebuilddb > >do? > > > >Civileme > > I should have mentioned that I have already tried this. > [root@lyra tom]# updatedb > [root@lura tom]# rpm --rebuilddb > > Further checks on the rpm database reveal that some of the packages > that I recently updated using MandrakeUpdate seem to be duplicated > in the database: > > tcsh > cups > > ...
