Guest einamo Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 urpmi thinks one of the packages is installed while it's not. It can't be removed (simply because it's not there) and reinstalling the package is impossible since urpmi thinks it's installed. Is it possible to rebuild the database? Any suggestions please to resolve this problem? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdg Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 (edited) You could install the package with the "--force" option. This will install the package regardless of what urpmi thinks. Just be sure there are no problems (eg dependencies) with the installation. su to root password rpm -ivh --force packagename Edited November 9, 2003 by mdg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
