here it is: [root@gstpc gerry]# rpm -e -vvv xf86-corefonts D: opening db environment /var/lib/rpm/Packages joinenv D: opening db index /var/lib/rpm/Packages rdonly mode=0x0 then [gerry@gstpc gerry]$ ls /var/lib/rpm/Packages /var/lib/rpm/Packages [gerry@gstpc gerry]$ I take it that means there is nothing in the database? -- gerry _____ 0/0 /__
