In addition, you can rebuild the package and do an rpm -U --force to do the new installation. I decided to remove/reinstall to be safe. Maybe this was best suited for your case. Generally an update is better than a remove/reinstall, i think, because the update retains modified config files in most cases.

Most of the time it is still unessesary work to move them back after reinstallation. And it is error prone because you may forget it and you are not informed when the format of the config file changed... Careful, since OpenPKG 1.3 you are indeed warned by the rc program when using it with packages that have such .rpmsave or .rpmnew files in their config directories. Try putting a blank 'thisthing.rpmsaved' file under /prefix/etc/apache/ and then run 'rc apache stop' or some other 'rc apache ...' command. There is however no warning from RPM itself after a sucessful package upgrade. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Development Team, Operations Northern Europe Cable Wireless Telecommunications Services pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
