Wish I could, take a look at this :(
[root@littlebox /root]# rpm -e --force grub
Macro %_install_langs has empty body
rpm: only installation, upgrading, rmsource and rmspec may be forced
[root@littlebox /root]# rpm --version
Macro %_install_langs has empty body
RPM version 4.0
[root@littlebox /root]#
BTW, how can I fix that damn macro problem?
