Hello out there,
I experienced s.th. strange with rpm. Just entered 'rpm -ivh <package
name>' in order to install new Broadcom drivers for my ethernet card.
After that I wanted to remove them by 'rpm -e <package name>'. Wanted to
install them again 'rpm -ivh <package name>' and now it tells me
'package already installed'. If you ask 'rpm' with the '-q <package
name>' option it tells that it is NOT installed and you are only able to
install with the '--force' option. And I am confused now, is it
installes or not? And how do you solve this?
Please post the output of:
# rpm -q <package name>
# rpm -ivh <package file name>
Replacing <package name> and <package file name> with the actual names.
Paul.
