Hello, I made a mistake. I deleted some directories and files that are installed by rpm. I wanted to install the packages again, but I got always the message, that the packages are allready installed. But I don't know how I can figure out this problem? Have I to update any files? Thanks Torsten ______________________________________________________________________________ Sie surfen im Internet statt im Meer? Selbst schuld!

You can do this... rpm -ivh --force --nodeps <package> Regards, * Torsten Becker (torstenbeckerni@web.de) [010605 19:11]: ->Hello, I made a mistake.

You could try using the --force option with rpm. If that doesn't work, then you could try uninstalling (rpm -e ...) for which you may need the --force option as well, and then reinstalling the offending package. Hope that helps, Chris -- __ _ -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Chris Reeves /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ICQ# 22219005 _\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\
