Not normaly needed. This is only if your database of installed RPMs gets
corrupted.
urpmi.update -a
urpmi --auto-select
rpm --rebuild, etc
Again, this is not needed. It is a repair command, and not normal
maintence.
I figured any time I added or removed any number of programs (whether
one or fifty) or changed media managers it wouldn't hurt to run the
system refreshers.
On a properly working system, you should never have to run
"rpm --rebuilddb".
Yokay, thanks, I will remove rpm --rebuilddb command from my list and jsut
do [rpm --updatedb && update-menus -v && ldconfig], right?
You should not need to do any of those. (I am not sure where rpm
--updatedb came from...) The update-menus is normally run by any package
that adds/removes menu entries, so you should not need to run it
yourself. The same for ldconfig when adding/removing libraries. I guess
it doesn't hurt to run them, but it isn't really necessary ether. Now,
running updatedb can be helpful if you use slocate. If not, then you can
let the weekly cron job take care of it.
