Hi,
I have RHEL 4 update 6 server running ok but due to some application failure
we believe that some gcc related files are corrupted and would like to
reinstall gcc package.
I do have the whole rpm source for RHEL 4 update 6 but tried updating using
up2date command but does not update any files and says package is already
installed. I dont want to remove the package and reinstall because of so
many gcc packages (see below) and their interdependency.
Is their a way I can reinstall all gcc package of same release, in this case
install gcc on update 6 machine from update 6 rpm package list.
