Hi Aschwin, Have you checked to see what shows up in the "Install and Remove Software" (now "Software Management") module in YaST? I understand it's a GUI layered on top of rpm, but since rpm is basically a fixed application relational database management system, sometimes the GUI provides just the needed "broad view" during forensics... it is simply easier to "browse" the database in the GUI. Select "Package Groups" in the left pane, scroll to the bottom and select "zzz all" and all the packages, installed and not, will be displayed in the right-hand pane. Scroll down to lame and see what's listed. If there are two, try selecting *both* for removal. That's the best I can do for tonight. I'll catch up with the list tomorrow and good luck! regards, - Carl --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
