[rhn-users] restoring original configuration files for an rpm package

[tom at ecnow.co.uk]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the rpm command to refresh the httpd package which  
has a broken httpd.conf file installed. (ie replace httpd.conf with a  
stock copy) However I can't get the rpm to overwrite that file. (The  
only way I have found is to actually delete the file manually, and  
then rerun a forced install)

Any ideas on this?

Thanks,

Tom H

eg;

[root at localhost archive]# rpm -V httpd
S.5....TC c /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
[root at localhost archive]# rpm -Uvh httpd-2.0.52-25.ent.x86_64.rpm
