/var/spool/up2date unhappy

[Chris Stankevitz]

Hi,

I'm concerned about my up2date.  A few weeks ago, I had trouble running
up2date due to a checksum mismatch on a package named mozilla-devel.  It
appeared that up2date did not run properly (I never received the "following
packages installed successfully" message).  Now my /var/spool/up2date
directory is filled with stuff that looks like temporary files.
Additionally, the command "rpm -qa" seems to indicate that some of the
packages listed in /var/spool/up2date were not installed (for example,
"strace" is listed in my spool directory, but is not reported during an "rpm
-qa").

Is my up2date okay?

Thanks for your help,

Chris

PS: I installed fedora on a "clean" hard drive and installed "everything."
