Common mistake because you did specify file names instead of package names. The "package name" of an rpm file is the first alpha-numerical part up to the version number. The rest is version number, package revision, target host architecture and ".rpm" file extension. E.g. glibc-2.3.2-27.9.i686.rpm => the file name glibc => the package name rpm --query glibc glibc-2.3.2-27.9 > anyone knows how to get init file back after it's being deleted? any linux > gurus out there? Well, "linux rescue" mode is for small problems like that. - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/C/Sw0iMVcrivHFQRAlq0AJ9auQ80rBJN4LVUjWQXDVolRT7U1wCeIWcQ OhISkFGbnWY0xCmTntzDxco= =ZkSp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Psyche-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
