I was thinking the same thing right after posting my previous message., so I wrote one. ;) http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/hacks/recover_rpm_db.sh $ ./recover_rpm_db.sh Usage: recover_rpm_db.sh -f [file_name] -p [path[s] to rpm files]. Where 'file_name' is a file containing a list of rpm packages that should be included in the rpm database, and -p is the path or paths that contain the rpm packages. Hope someone finds it useful at some point in time. - -- - -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 iEYEARECAAYFAj1a9EgACgkQn/07WoAb/SuWHQCgsul826X9nZCkWEs2fApoLVj+ 89YAoKbVBJs3O/g//1DMmPw+fAsvNBkb =sDqw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
