Well, I 'rpm -V' everything but the .i386 packages thus:
#!/bin/csh -f
#
foreach p (`rpm -qa --qf '%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n' | grep -v i386 | sort`)
echo "*********** $p"
rpm -V $p
end
The result was that I only got S.5... complaints for things which I knew
I'd modified (.conf files and the like) so I am now a very happy bunny.
Many thanks for your help here, otherwise I might even have been considering
a re-install!
Cheers,
Terry.
