What, exactly, do you mean by "required" packages?
I don't know if I am expressing myself so badly or if I'm missing something
else thats completely obvious, because I've been saying essentially the same
three times now. However, again: When, for example, the samba packages where
split up, I downloaded the whole RedHat/RPMS directory, said "rpm -F *.rpm"
and it did *not* pick up the new, split packages forcing me into a manual
update instead. It also did *not* pick up new requirements where the new
package version had more required packages than the old.
In short, "rpm -F", for me, only picked up new packages by name, nothing
else. I was the under the impression that this is general behaviour,
however, after this discussion, I sense that I might be missing something.
Please tell me: Did the above mentioned samba update work for you without
manual work?
