Dear friends,
If you install software directly from a tarball, rpm will not be
aware of the installation. How can rpm be made aware of it?
Is rpm --rebuilddb supposed to always fix the problem? What if it does not?
Or should I always try to turn the tarball into an rpm file? How to do this?
Thank you!
Take care
Oliver
