first off, you might want to run:
rpm -qa | grep 'strace'
if that lists two versions of strace, then rpm -e the older one...
if it only returns one, then i don't know whether you should rpm -e
that one... you could probably figure out if that's the one in your
path (strace -V will give you the version of strace that's first in
the path)...
another thing you might try if rpm -qa doesn't list them all is
which strace
(to get which version is in the path)
and then
find -name strace
(to find out where all the copies of strace are located)...
only worry about the ones that are actually stracec as opposed to
strace.vim or strace.1.gz, etc...
to get find -name to find it though, you have to su, and run it while
sitting in / (or i think you can just give it / as a parameter)
i suppose that if locate is up to date, you could use that as well..
maybe? i don't know for sure about that though... i generally use
find -name because i've had problems with locate
ok... no guarantees on anything, but i think this'll solve your problem...
