Hi,

What is the recommended way to reinstall the same package after rebuilding
it. For example, I rebuilt openldap with the new openssl (per the
instructions below). Once I did that I could not use rpm -Uvh to reinstall
it since that version is already installed. So I did:
rpm -e openldap.....
rpm -Uvh openldap.....

1) Is there a better way?

If you use "openpkg build" the generated shell-script use "rpm -Uvh --force" to install the packages. Therefore I think this is the recommended way to update a package.


2) Below "rpm -Fvh" is recommended to update openssl itself. How is this
option different from "rpm -Uvh"? I can't find any documentation on it.

-F means freshen and installs only packages which are newer and currently installed.
