Hello Linux folkz, Today I did rpm --verify -a > somefile.txt I saw a lot of missing packages which I previously removed myself manually. For example:
missing /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include missing /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/asm missing /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/asm-alpha missing /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/asm-alpha/a.out.h missing /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/asm-alpha/asm_offsets.h missing /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/asm-alpha/atomic.h missing /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/asm-alpha/bitops.h missing /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/asm-alpha/bugs.h missing /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/asm-alpha/byteorder.h missing /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/asm-alpha/cache.h missing /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/asm-alpha/checksum.h missing /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/asm-alpha/compiler.h
I'm using linux-2.2.17 kernel and I don't need any messages that previous kernel 2.2.16 I removed manually is missing now. Could somebody tell me please how to remove notation about missing packages from rpm database when I do verification of installed packages Thank you in advance. Alex
-- Scientific theories, according to Sir Karl Popper, can be "falsified," or proven wrong, by experiment. Unscientific theories -Marxist dialectical history and Freudian psychology were Popper's favorites- are formed in such a way that they cannot be falsified by data.
