you are right of course. Once Devon's helpful post sent me down that path it was apparent. Especially the redhat src.rpm. I was trying to do a --rebuild on the src.rpm without looking into the specfile since the source was not installed. built rpms installed well except for one 6.0 machine with a bunch of upgrades that leads me into a dependency nightmare beginning with init-scripts. I guess it is time to upgrade. This particular machine is the primary file server and intranet server where a significant portion of the apps that run our system lives. I have hesitated to wade into it but I guess I will test my recovery from amanda backups procedure and go for it. The machine is a compaq 3000 with smart whatever scsi running raid 5 and dual pIII procs. It appears that the upgrade to 7.2 should go ok from a hardware stand point but upgrading so may pieces of software is always pretty scary to me since having it down is kind of a big deal. One nice thing about being the boss is that at least I can't get fired :) Sorry for the thread creep but I thought I would toss it out to see if anyone has had issues or tips.
