Hmm I'm not aware that such an app is available. Butit should be possible: a) write a perlscript that urpmf all librarys and checks if the rpm that contains it is installed => spit out the libraries, that are not installed by rpm and build a dummy rpm that provides all this libs, this could be done later by a cronjob. b) try to use no tar.gz and build an rpm with f.i. checkinstall, so your rpm-database is up to date every time -- Regards Steffen ____________________ counter.li.org : #296567. machine: 181800 vdr-box : 87 ____________________ Please dont CC me, since if I have replied I'll watch the tread.
