Upon upgrading from the 0.9-769 Nvidia drivers I encoutered a problem which I have not been able to resolve. A pre-uninstall query of my RPM database gives the following: > rpm -q NVIDIA_kernel-0.9-769 NVIDIA_kernel-0.9-769 > rpm -q NVIDIA_GLX-0.9-769 NVIDIA_GLX-0.9-769 Fine. Looks good. Then > rpm -e NVIDIA_GLX-0.9-769 No problem. Gone. Then > rpm -e NVIDIA_kernel-0.9-769 execution of NVIDIA_kernel-0.9-769 script failed, exit status 1 Oops. Something has gone awry. So I thought, well, maybe something minor so I tried installing the 1.0-1251 Nvidia drivers > rpm -ivh NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-1251.i686.rpm file /lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/video/NVdriver from install of \ NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-1251 conflicts with file from package \ NVIDIA_kernel-0.9-769 I removed the NVdriver module, but rpm claims that file still exists even though it does not. So, I have some kind of conflict. rpm --rebuilddb does not help, nor a --force with the new drivers. This just creates two Nvidia-kernel packages which causes the package managers to complain (though I have done all of the above at a command prompt). I have been following the threads on package problems and Nvidia, but they didnt seem exactly relevant. Is there a way to extract the contents of the rpm so examine the script and see what is does or what it is choking on? Any suggestions? Thanks Albion Albion E. Baucom http://www.cse.ucsc.edu/~baucom
