Hi Lee, You can update a single package by entering this command :
rpm -Fvh your-file.rpm The "F" is for freshen, or upgrade if package is newer than the current and do nothing if there is no such package installed on the system. To update a bunch of packages, you can specify multiple package as input. I never used YaST for single package update, sorry. Regards. On 7/24/06, Lee Stewart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi all... We have a SLES9 system that needs one package updated beyond what's on the service pack CDs. I got the RPM file and went into Yast/Software/Change source of installation and added a "Local directory" entry to the directory where the RPM file lives. I said Continue when it prompted me saying there wasn't product information there, but Continue if I wanted to make RPM packages there available in the packages selection menu. But... No matter how I try specifying it (absolute, relative, etc.), I can't get the package(s) to show up under Install/Remove Software... Am I missing something obvious? Has this worked for anyone else?
