Comment 1 Florin Andrei 2002-10-22 02:57:02 UTC
Ok, i "kill -9"'ed rpm, run a "rpm -qa | grep transcode", and sure thing, there
were two versions installed.
I removed dvd::rip first (it depends on transcode), then did a "rpm -ev
--allmatches transcode".
Then i attempted again to install my newly built package. It worked. I
reinstalled dvd::rip afterwards... Nothing suspicious so far.
But i wonder if my RPM database is still healthy. :-(

Comment 2 Jeff Johnson 2002-10-23 14:58:57 UTC
Doing --rebuilddb with rpm-4.1 guarantees (by checking signatures
and digests of headers, and rebuilding all other indices)
a "healthy" database, for some pretty meaningful definition
of "healthy".
