I downloaded a few RPM's for a project I'm working on. Installed the RPMs, all went okay, but when I went to preview the directories I noticed some of the directories had no files in them, when they should have. These directories were suppose to be built by the RPM's and files installed.
Then I panicked, instead of using 'rpm -e', I deleted the new directories. Now when I use 'rpm -U' to re-install the software, I get the message that this rpm is already installed.
How do I get back to the beginning before the rpm's were installed and start over, a clean slate.
Could you give a few more details? Like which rpms exactly, and which exact commands you ran? Anders -- Madness takes its toll -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
