Usually this means RPM It could mean some other software calling the primitives directly -- Kevin J.

It's just a warning... when you install/remove/upgrade something with rpm directly, then use yum again, it's letting you know that something was modified with rpm. Transactions done with rpm directly don't show up in 'yum history' as rpm doesn't update the yumdb with that info. So, it's likely not a problem, but it's probably best to get in the habit of using yum all the time. kevin signature.asc Description: PGP signature -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

That would explain it. Can this warning be reset/cleared? You could try reinstalling with yum. btw, as far as I recall the latest yum supports installing rpm packages over http or ftp. No reason to use rpm directly any more. :) (except for queries and troubleshooting ofc :-p) -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
