I've downloaded the apache *-patch rpms from SuSE's ftp server. When I try to "rpm -ivh" them on my 8.0 box I get a whole pile of conflict errors - each file in the patch rpm conflicts with a file in the installed rpm. That makes sense but I actually want those files to be overwritten. What do I do to get the patches in? Use a --force? Or --replacefiles? Or what? -- 9:16am up 7 days, 23:55, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.02, 0.00

rpm -Uhv --nodeps i stands for install if it does not exist U stands for update F stands for refresh (replace) you can also use --test parameter to see if the rpm command would succeed (warning with test parameter you do not actually install/update the package) HTH -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx
Hi, I have a machine with three ethernet interfaces. I want to bind mysql against just two of these. Using the command line --bind-address I can successfully bind to any one of these three interfaces. Does anyone know how to bind to two and NOT all of them? Thanks in advance, Paul Miles.

I think I read somewhere that Yast has been tweaked to install the patch rpms, but other tools aren't.

Hi Derek, The patch rpms work best for me if you can get all the ones that depend on each other into a single directory somewhere and then run: rpm -Fvh *.rpm This usually means the rpms check each others' dependencies and it all goes nicely without having to use --force or --nodeps. If you do get a complaint, it's usually then possible to seek out the rpm or patch rpm concerned, add it to the directory and then go again with -Fvh. Smoother and quicker than wrestling with the patches one by one, though I'm sure you may find situations in which it doesn't work. I like the patch rpms because they can radically cut down on the time / bandwidth needed to patch. Cheers Fergus On Thursday 01 August 2002 09:19, you wrote:
