From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98) I installed Redhat 6.2 using the "server" configuration then immedately upgraded to 7.1. After the upgrade to 7.1 I noticed my RPM database has two entries, one for the older file, and a second for the new file. So for example, Sendmail-8.9 and Sendmail-8.11 are both listed as being installed. Likewise Apache 1.3.12 and 1.3.19 are also listed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RedHat 6.2 in Server configuration 2. Upgrade to Redhat 7.1 3. Type 'rpm -qa|grep sendmail' You will see two versions of sendmail listed. Actual Results: Duplicate entries are shown Expected Results: Only a single entry for the upgraded product. I read in the RedHat message board someone else was experiencing the same results.
How did you upgrade? If you used --install/-i rather than --upgrade/-U, then duplicate entries is exactly what is to be expected.
The upgrade was performed by booting the 7.1 installation disk and selecting upgrade. Very similar to a new install but you select "upgrade" instead of "install".
OK, off to anaconda to find out what's up. I certainly haven't heard of this problem before ...
I set up a test machine with a fresh server install of 6.2. I then immediately upgraded to 7.1...the RPM database looks fine...no duplicate entries.
