rpm -Uvh --oldpackage nfs-utils-1.0.6-31EL -U is 'upgrade' and replaces the previous version of the package. -i is 'install' and will try to just install the package resulting in BOTH being installed. If a file is in both packages, it bitches as you saw. I almost always use -U on non-kernel packages. It's rare that I want two versions of the same RPM installed. Kernel RPMs are a notable exception. :-) --[Lance] -- Celebrate The Circle: http://www.celebratethecircle.org/ Carolina Spirit Quest: http://www.carolinaspiritquest.org/ My LiveJournal: http://www.livejournal.com/users/labrown/ GPG Fingerprint: 409B A409 A38D 92BF 15D9 6EEE 9A82 F2AC 69AC 07B9 -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
