I have a small problem: 
[root@homer RPM]# rpm -Fvh RPMS/i686/nedit-5.1.1-9.1mdk.i686.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        libsafe.so.1.3 is needed by nedit-5.1.1-9.1mdk
[root@homer RPM]# rpm -q libsafe
libsafe-1.3-8mdk
[root@homer RPM]# locate libsafe.so.1.3
/lib/libsafe.so.1.3
[root@homer RPM]# ll /lib/libsafe
libsafe.so.1    libsafe.so.1.3
[root@homer RPM]# ll /lib/libsafe.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           14 Apr 25 10:14 /lib/libsafe.so.1 -> 
libsafe.so.1.3*
[root@homer RPM]#

So as you can see, i have the required package (and file) installed, but rpm seems 
only half aware
of this. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

I'm thinking maybe a rpm --rebuilddb would be in order, but i'm a little wary of doing 
this, i
don't want to screw things up further. Therefore i'm wondering what are all the files 
that rpm
--rebuilddb would change/touch, so that i may back them up and copy them over if it 
doesn't work?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,
John
