It keeps on getting worse and worse, loosing the location of more and more of them. It isn't really loosing them in the sense that they aren't on they system. As like this time around for me, yum is saying that it can't find "lib-org-apache-bcel-5.0.so". I was checking the web for a possible location where is it, and maybe reinstall the package. I say it is most times installed in the /usr/lib/ directory. Doing "ls /usr/lib/lib-org-apache-bc*" results with "/usr/lib/lib-org-apache-bcel-5.0.so"; the exact file I am supposedly missing. From remembering that most times that directory is automaticaly checked, when you run ldconfig. After running that, yum still complains I am missing that same file. I have tried on other times when this has happened, to copy that file around, to pretty much every single folder I can find; and still doesn't releave the problem. This problem is not has also been happening on me on other distro's too, including other versions on kernels. I have even got it go to the point, where the system has even lost the a main rpm library. I don't remember that exact name off hand. I just installed this copy just about 5 days, so it hasn't been too long on this around. I would really like to keep this os for more then a month this time around. Any ideas on how to fix this? I haven't checked the rpm database yet, I am planning to check that tomorrow after work.
Yum's view of what is present or missing is based entirely on the rpm database. So that's where your problem is. The question is why. Have you creashed for forced termination of rpm or yum processing? If this is a recurring problem on different distros then chances are there is either a hardware problem or a procedural problem.
