Re: [newbie] rpm manager corrupted
I managed to use k package manager and did the install one at a time starting with the developer package. I did try command line, didn't work. On that particular install I learned my 101 things. If you do it right the first time you've learn one thing. If you get it wrong a hundred times and then get it right you've learned 101 things. In Windows I'd learned milliions of things:) Grant On November 26, 2001 06:09 am, you wrote: > On Sat, 24 Nov 2001 20:59:18 -0800, Grant Fraser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > >I am having difficulty updating some software.

RPM says that the package can be updated but then says it has already been installed. How do I fix the damage? hi, just noticed this email and did not see any reply so here is my two cents... did you try using commandline rpm commands? i usually resort to them when the rpm manager refuses to work (especially with opera). you can try rpm -U [package] to upgrade your applications. you can try upgrading your rpm manager with one of the packages in the cooker sites. not much use though if you have the latest version.

RE: [newbie] RPM manager
I like the idea, however I am attempting to upgrade within 7.1. I believe that this is the best build I can get with GNOME native archetecture. IF I were to upgrade the libraries, would it be feasable to re-compile, or somehow get the newer RPM to do a staic link, soley? -Chris > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of civileme > Sent: Thursday, July 05, 2001 13:23 > To: TinyHoffman; Newbie > Subject: Re: [newbie] RPM manager > > > On Thursday 05 July 2001 14:29, TinyHoffman wrote: > > o.k. > > > > I am running mdk7.1, > > > > I want to upgrade a few parts, now that > > I have a solid footing on the OS. > > > > I attempted to upgrade my pppd to IV, > > fom II, but found that my RPM would not > > take a package >= 3(major number)... > > > > the RPM archives at redhat suggested that > > I upgrade to 3.0.6 (from the stock 3.0.4), > > and then to 4.0.x... > > > > Now the 3.0.4 won't upgrade without a glibc > > <=2.1.3. > > > > a: can I safely run two libraries? > > > > b: Is there a better way of upgrading my > > RPM manager? > > > > or c: am I just approaching the bull from the > > wrong end? > > > > -Chris Hoffman > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > It is easy to break your system by having two libraries because the > links have to be managed very very carefully.

I did have duplicates in my list of "Installable" packages when I selected both the cooker versions and the stable versions. The problem that I'm having is the duplicates in my "Installed" list so this doesn't seem to be the same thing. Thanks. ...Dave

[newbie] RPM Manager
I've been using the Software Manager to update my RPM packages. I see that the "Installed --> Flat List" tab shows most of the packages twice. The name, size, version, and description is exactly for same for each of the duplicate listings. Is there a way to get rid of the duplicates? Also, in the Software Manager, I notice that some of the packages are black on a white background while others are black on a grey background. All of the duplicate listings have the same colour background as the other one in the listing (sometimes the duplicates both have a grey background and other times they both have a white background). Thanks. ...Dave
