This isn't always guaranteed to work. If package A splits into A and B, and A now has a dependency on B that it didn't before, rpm -F will not catch it. up2date will. Before you say this is very theoretical, let me point out that I've seen this happen *many* times with Mandrake's betas as applications were split between the app and its related libraries. Can't say I've seen it happen often with Red Hat. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
