Thanks Ray,
The package is showing as installed. I didn't realize that I needed to
take off the i386 at the end of the package name
For package name in RPM, it is everything before the version and arch
stuff of the file name.
Do rpm -qi perl
Howdy,
When I do a rpm -ql package1 to see the files installed by the rpm, I
get a message saying the package is not installed.
However when I do rpm -Uvh package1 to install it, it says package is
already installed, which is true, because the package is indeed
installed.
Why is it then rpm -ql

hmm...
Try this:
rpm -qa | grep package
Is it listed here? If so and rpm -ql doesn't show it try reinstalling
or
upgrading over it and if needed force it.
rpm -ivh --force package
also rpm -Uvh is to upgrade rpm -ivh

Note that -ql and -Uvh take

errr
rpm -i --justdb --force package-version.arch.rpm
