Dear friends:
I have a strange problem that apparently was caused by my foolish
tampering with the ttfonts directory.
For whatever reason it broke the X Font Server. I have corrected it
since, but I get the following strange result. I wanted to uninstall
XFree86-xfs and then reinstall it. This is what I get:
[root@adsl-77-232-172 rpm]# rpm -e XFree86-xfs-3.3.5-3mdk.i586.rpm
error: package XFree86-xfs-3.3.5-3mdk.i586.rpm is not installed
[root@adsl-77-232-172 rpm]# rpm -Uvh XFree86-xfs-3.3.5-3mdk.i586.rpm
package XFree86-xfs-3.3.5-3mdk is already installed
[root@adsl-77-232-172 rpm]#
Meanwhile I have commented out the "unix/:-1" line in
/etc/X11/XF86Config.
Could someone please explain to me what this means. How could a package
not be installed and yet already installed?
Thank you very much.
Benjamin
