will give you the package that includes that file.

It seems as though this should work. Using urpmf --files update-menus returns the following results:
menu:/usr/bin/update-menus
menu:/usr/share/man/man1/update-menus.1.bz2


Hmm.

It appears that I have a /usr/bin/update-menus without having the menus package installed. I've also got the man page. However....

If I do what you suggested, I get:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ftg]# urpmf --files update-menus
majesty-demo:/usr/local/games/maj_demo/.manifest/scripts/update-menus.sh
mindrover-demo:/usr/games/mindrover_demo/.manifest/scripts/update-menus.sh
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ftg]# urpmf /usr/bin/update-menus
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ftg]# urpmi menu
Everything already installed
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ftg]#

In addition, if I look in my cooker tree, I have
menu-2.1.5-124mdk.i586.rpm
but neither rpmdrake install nor rpmdrake remove lists the package when I select "list all packages, alphabetical".


A urpmi.update -a made absolutely no difference in these results.

Is there some lower-level query I can do to discern why urpmi thinks the package is installed and I can see that the files are present, but rpmdrake thinks it is neither here nor there ?
