I noticed something strange when I installed Mandrake on my
computer at home: The RPM database contained two versions of
almost all packages.
It was a clean install of Mandrake-5.3-2 (everything was repar-
titioned and formatted), with the RPMs from apps/kernel2.2 and
the kernel source for 2.2.1 installed. I had to manually 'rpm -e'
on all of the old packages, which of course complained about
"cannot delete xxx: No such file" on almost everything since they
wasn't installed in the first place.
It probably took with it some of the files from the new packages
too, so I'm not sure if everything works now (I can't compile
ssh although I have all the devel packages needed).
I first tried rpm --rebuilddb, but that still showed two packages
of almost everything.
Maybe I messed up when upgrading the kernel...
BTW: The link in the INSTALL file doesn't work:
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/kernel2.2/
My apologies if this has been discussed before.
