Re: centos update and opennms run fails after update

Thanks for your prompt response.. I ran into some other problems where I
could not get it to run after modifying the rpmnew files... My installation
is a home installation, so I think I am going to start fresh. I can afford
to lose my current configuration as  I only have about 20 devices to
monitor...

thanks again
