Hi,

My Mandrake 9.0 system (upgraded from 8.2) is giving me errors when running 
"rpm -ta".  It complains that /usr/bin/id doesn't exist (see below for 
output of "rpm -ta").  I've checked and see that I have /bin/id (part of 
sh-utils-2.0.15-2mdk), and can correct the problem via a symlink, i.e. "ln 
-s /bin/id /usr/bin/id".

Is this a known problem with an official fix (rather than my band-aid)?

Thanks.

David
