As a note of interest, RPM itself is backed by a database, db3. Prior to version 4.x, it was backed by db1. Upgrading between the versions of RPM is simply -- installing db3 and dependenies, upgrade RPM, and run 'rpm --rebuilddb' -- which works most of the time, but there are pathological cases..... You now are running db3 instead of db1, if you didn't get bit by a pathological case. :-) -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
