To force a reinstall try: rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs the_broken_rpm.rpm
which forces rpm to replace the packages if they exist and if not it installs them. If this refuses step it up a notch: rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs --replacefiles the_broken_rpm.rpm You could eventually use the option --force but this also skips the dependency check so be careful. So this is actually not an answer to your question but I'd try it anyway.. Huub On Thu, 2002-12-12 at 10:02, Ray Henry wrote: > OK, since updating my libraries, my modem has stopped functioning.
