rpmdb-redhat is quite useful, but it is only intended as a tool. It really can't be used to replace the systems rpmdb. If that were done, rpm would then believe that every package on the install CDs had been installed on the system. Also, rpmdb-redhat isn't updated for errata rpms, and would likely include the wrong version info for many packages. - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3} in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAj1awDAACgkQn/07WoAb/SsyTACfVAqQwFs3aDSMDv4N0x1vluzQ yRMAoI70Zx9loTXshwZY+qNN/J8wI063 =zVYS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
