Automatic update of already installed packages

Message-ID: <3A3FDF04.F630413C@hacom.nl> Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2000 23:19:48 +0100 From: "P.C. Uiterlinden" Subject: Automatic update of already installed packages My system is SuSE 6.4 and I want to apply all the updates available in ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.4/. I've already copied this whole tree to my hard disk. The problem is that I only want updates of already installed packages. If I would do something like: rpm -Uhv $(find -type f -name '*.rpm') then *all* packages would be installed, in stead of updating only already installed packages. Neither YaST nor rpm seems to provide the functionality I'm looking for. Am I overlooking the obvious, or what? Paul.
