Description Gerald Teschl 2001-08-22 11:22:28 UTC
Upgrading foomatic from beta3 to beta4 fail. Doing rpm -V after
upgrading shows a list of 2391 missing files!? (In particular
printconf will no longer work.) Trying to reinstall (--force)
did not help either. Only uninstalling the foomatic rpm (--nodeps)
and then reinstalling from scratch solved to problem.

This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Fairfax.

Comment 2 Crutcher Dunnavant 2001-08-27 16:48:05 UTC
Sorry, but this is a 'upgrades over betas is not guaranteed' issue.

I reorganized some stuff, and replaced a directory with a symlink. rpm doesnt
like this.
