The up2date --show-orphans feature is pretty decent. The information
pointed only to other sources (Freshrpms, realplayer, etc)
I had problems with up2date installing from my local directory. I
downloaded the 1.5-1 version of mozilla into a local directory (included
in listing of /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources )
What happened when I ran up2date was that only three rpms were installed
for mozilla. Mail was not installed. I also tried running rpm -Uvh
mozilla*.rpm and it did not install the additional rpms. If I installed
the 1.5-1 versioned rpms individually, with rpm -U <packagename>, it
installed alright.
Is there a change with rpm so that rpm -Uvh <packagename> doesn't
install available programs?
Why would grouped rpms, like with mozilla remove prior installed rpms,
but not reinstall the upgraded version? Is this a problem with the rpm
structures, up2date with local directories or the rpm, (the program).
I am just confused with the behavior exhibited. Installing the desired
rpms manually was not that difficult.
