It isn't a file, it is a symlink, and all the packages should have the same symlink (pointing to /etc/alternatives). I'm pretty sure that rpm will allow multiple packages to own the same symlink (as long as they all have the same target). IMHO that would make things even easier to figure out; "rpm -qf /usr/bin/java" would list all the packages that can "claim" java. -- Chris Adams <li...@cmadams.net> -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
