Actually, this whole thread is a joke. But, no, I am entirely too lazy to
put all the rpms on one command line :)
Also, for those so concerned that I won't know what the dependancies are,
(I thought for sure that the "by golly" would have shown I was kidding)
try this on any installed package:

will eventully install anyway, further down the list. "
Um, isnt that why you can put multiple rpms on ONE COMMAND LINE?

Ok, I found mandrake update in the rpms for 7.2 and I'm trying to update my
stuff so I can use it, only problem is that I keep hitting a snag of
libbz2.so.1 when trying to install the grpm package - so I try to
install/upgrade my bzip2 rpm and it says that libbz2.so.0 is needed by image
magick :P
-Uvh will update rpms that already exist on your system, but if the rpm
doesn't already exist on your system, it will do the same as an -ivh
(i.e., install the new rpm). In this sense, -ivh is redundant. -Fvh will
*only* update rpms that already exist on your system.

Right, I forgot to mention that you should run a naked Uhv, then figure
out what the complaints are, and make some sort of judgement on what to
do. Then slap it in! usually, the packages that require forces are beta
anyway.

well using that command, it CAN'T fail :] but who knows what conflicts may
arise... I just wish there was an update utility on mandrake smart enough to
help you with updating other dependencies rather than just bitching about it.
Hmm, note to developers for future releases? A SMARTER PACKAGE UTIL

When moving from 7.2 to Cooker, yes. Once all your system is a
mess^H^H^H^HCooker, -F will be usefull again.

Especially when package conventions ha
man rpm
that states that -F will freshen or update the package only if it
currently exists on your system in a presvious version.

What is the "F" for?

"If you do
Ok, so here's what I did (well, it's still running). I ran the following
command, hope I was sane with this and not prone to screw up my system:
rpm -Fvh
ftp:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pub/mirrors/mandrake/7.2/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/*.rpm
This should (if I understand it right) update all pakages that I have
On Mandrake's website, for each rpm update, it states to use rpm -Fvh
*.rpm
If you use that for a large quantity of rpm files, as I just tested, it
works just fine.
rpm -Fvh *.rpm
