Hello,
I found out that the latest changes in "rpm" (not by Mandrake, I assume)
broke the old behaviour of "freshen", which also worked for the first
case
in the example below.
Here's an example right from my session (in another xterm):
# rpm -Fvh gnome-core-*
package gnome-core-1.2.1-7mdk is already installed
# rpm -Fvh gnome-core-devel-1.2.1-7mdk.i586.rpm
gnome-core-devel
##################################################
# rpm -q rpm
rpm-3.0.5-0.19mdk
After downloading the current rpm-srpm, I found the following line in
the
CHANGES under section "3.0.4 -> 3.0.5"
- internalize --freshen (Gordon Messmer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>).
So long,
Juergen Zimmermann
