One thing, that is with all rpm based update/pkg managers I've used so far, if your doing several pkg install/updates, you need to (on the command line as root) rpm --rebuilddb frequently ( I do it after each pkg or two ). This makes sure that the rpm database has all the current headers of installed pkgs up to date. This is done on a daily cron job as well _I think_. So doing it manualy just keeps you fresh right away. Just my 2-cents Cheers deg
