I upgraded one PC from FC2 to FC3, then ran up2date to get it, er..., up to date. Then I copied all the downloaded files in /var/spool/up2date to a DVD so I would not have to wait while the hundred-plus updates download a second time when I ran up2date on another PC. I upgraded the second PC from FC2 to FC3, then before I ran up2date I copied all those files into /var/spool/up2date. However, when I then ran up2date, it did not install any upgrades, but displayed that all packages were up to date already. Not true. I've tried removing the files from /var/spool/up2date and a couple of different combinations of sets of files left there, but up2date always reports no updates are necessary. I tried running "rpm --initdb" and "rpm --rebuilddb" with the /var/spool/up2date directory empty, not really knowing if they would or could help. No joy. How do I get back to a point where FC3 will do the necessary updates, short of reinstalling from scratch? I'll do so if I must but would prefer not to. Chuck Sterling
