Continuing the bug parade... I was cleaning up my system tonight, removing unnecessary packages. I removed the portmap package, but noticed that it showed up again in the output of 'rpm -qa'. Here's a transcript of the activity: Script started on Wed Oct 20 21:37:50 1999 [root@tippy /root]# rpm -qa | grep portmap portmap-4.0-6mdk [root@tippy /root]# rpm -e portmap error reading information on service portmap: No such file or directory execution of script failed error reading information on service portmap: No such file or directory execution of script failed [root@tippy /root]# rpm -qa | grep portmap portmap-4.0-6mdk [root@tippy /root]# rpm -Uvh /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS/portmap-4.0-6mdk.i586.rpm [A[root@tippy /root]# rpm -Uvh /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS/portmap-4.0-6mdk.i586.rpm package portmap-4.0-6mdk is already installed [root@tippy /root]# exit Script done on Wed Oct 20 21:38:19 1999 Why doesn't the portmap package remove itself from the installed packages database? -- Steve Philp Network Administrator Advance Packaging Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED]
