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

Looks like the kernel include files RPM "lincude" is still installed, even though you removed the files manually. Try to remove linclude.

-- 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.

Probably not. His rpm database appears to be fine as it is showing the packages that he removed manually. If one deletes a bunch of stuff without using rpm then rpm still thinks those files should be there and lists them as missing. I believe rpm --rebuilddb just fixes errors in the database. Greg
