Okay, thanks for the suggestion. > I haven't a clue what is surprising to you, you have neglected to state what > the surprise is or was. I specified on the command-line: $ sudo rpm -U foo-1-0.x86_64.rpm bar-1-0.x86_64.rpm baz-1-0.x86_64.rpm Yet the installation order appeared to be: baz, foo, bar. My first surprise is that the RPMs appear to have been installed in a different order than I specified on the command line. Since these RPMs have no interdependencies, why should they be re-ordered? My second surprise is that "--noorder" didn't appear to have any effect (i.e. the RPMs still appeared to be installed in a different order than I specified on the command line). j. ______________________________________________________________________ RPM Package Manager http://rpm5.org Developer Communication List rpm-devel@rpm5.org
