I believe I overwrote my Fedora Core 5 version of sqlite (that's
3.3.3-1.2.x86_64) for the second time this year. I downloaded
sqlite-3.3.8 and compiled it with this configure string:
../configure --prefix=/usr/local/sqlite-3.3.8 --libdir=/usr/lib64
--includedir=/usr/include --disable-tcl --enable-threadsafe --enable-utf8
and because of the libdir option shown above, I overwrote the version
3.3.3 sqlite libraries that the Fedora Core installer put in for me.
Then I ran yum as 'yum update' to see if yum would still work properly.
I canceled the update before it could install packages, but that was
probably still dumb to do since by then yum had started updating its
sqlite database, right? And it did that with sqlite version 3.3.8?
To fix this, I downloaded the sqlite-3.3.3-1.2 and
sqlite-devel-3.3.3-1.2 rpm packages for Fedora Core 5 and used 'rpm -ivh
--force ...' to force them to install.
Did I corrupt the database of Fedora Core 5 package information the yum
program keeps by doing this? Can anyone tell me which files I need to
back up to preserve the yum database? /var/cache/yum?
Thanks
