It gets overwritten daily (/etc/cron.daily/rpm), and rotated weekly. You might want to copy /var/log/rpmpkgs.1 someplace safe, since /var/log/rpmpkgs probably got overwritten this morning. > Hm.

Looking at your mail headers and my firewall log, I think I found the connection problem. Your address space is within a formerly reserved range. (or so says http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space) It appears it was allocated last August and I missed it. My firewall objected to what it saw as an invalid address. Should be fixed now, please let me know if that's not the case. I can always mail you the script if you like. > I suppose I could use apt-get --download-only to retrieve the packages > prior to running the script. Just for the record, there were a few mentions in bugzilla about the rpm hangs being more common for apt users. For one: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=77988 > Thanks, I'm not going to get to it today (the system is running fine a > the moment and I'm swamped) but I'll post a followup once I've been > through it. Good luck. Again, if you can't get the script, please let me know. - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3}|8.0 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+FPpXn/07WoAb/SsRApZvAJ4sp7E+fwdlRR8TNIK5OcUswSyaZACfaeiy 6MIiqmirUpVTYEc7oOB98c0= =AEsq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
