Title: 5.6 update troubles...
Post by: Anthony on May 23, 2003, 02:01:16 AM

Copied the 'updates4' to the root directory, cd'd in, then entered

rpm -Uvh ./*.rpm

After a few seconds, my # prompt returned, but no messages of any kind appeared. Entering 'rpm -q foo' shows that the files are not being updated. What gives?

Try:

rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs *.rpm


Alternately go to http://www.e-smith.org/article.php3 and read the installation instructions

It turns out that the packages I downloaded initially were corrupted, probably because I downloaded them first onto a Win2K box and then transferred them onto the server through an SSH connection. I regot the packages, downloading directly to the root directory using lynx, and they all installed just fine. Thanks for the suggestions!
