Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Difference in conflict resolving between yum and rpm installs Post 302750675 by gazza-o on Wednesday 2nd of January 2013 07:03:12 AM

Thanks for your reply.

I am not questioning the behaviour for rpm -i as I would expect that to fail, given a previous version is already installed but why is 'yum install' allowing the package to install when the previous version is already there? I thought it would fail in the same fashion as 'rpm -i' given the previous version is already installed and I have it declared as a conflict also.

Thanks again.

NAME
rpmdb - RPM Database Tool SYNOPSIS
rpm {--initdb|--rebuilddb} DESCRIPTION
The general form of an rpm rebuild database command is rpm {--initdb|--rebuilddb} [-v] [--dbpath DIRECTORY] [--root DIRECTORY] Use --initdb to create a new database if one doesn't already exist (existing database is not overwritten), use --rebuilddb to rebuild the database indices from the installed package headers. SEE ALSO
popt(3), rpm(8), rpmkeys(8), rpmsign(8), rpm2cpio(8), rpmbuild(8), rpmspec(8), rpm --help - as rpm supports customizing the options via popt aliases it's impossible to guarantee that what's described in the manual matches what's available. http://www.rpm.org/ <URL:http://www.rpm.org/> AUTHORS
