I am getting more confused as I go along unfortunately. When I rpm -q'd the packages in question, the only thing that was shown for output to my command was the same thing that I just typed in. I thought this was indicating that the package in question was already installed. However, when I rpm -q'd a list of packages that were suspect, and sent that output to a file......I got a different story from my query. (why??) This is what I got from my query: rpm -q "packages in question" > rpms.txt >> package devfsd-1.3.25-19.3mdk, is not installed package arts-1.0.3-7.1mdk, is not installed package kdelibs-3.0.3-30.1mdk, is not installed package kdegraphics-3.0.3-11.1mdk, is not installed package python-2.2.1-14.2mdk, is not installed package galeon-1.2.5-8.1mdk, is not installed package urpmi-4.0-20.1 is not installed >> When I checked in MCC Install Software, using the method you described, I find that all of these packages are found in "Updates"...my update source. These packages are installed....I don't think I would have an operating system w/o some of them. It must be the updates then that aren't installed. I can distinctly remember installing them however. :-/ I am very confused right now as to what I should do here.
