Hi Edward,
I am new to Linux. How do you rebuild the rpm
database and clear thde cache?
Thanks,
Li

console).

So for updating a package I use:
rpm -Uvh *.rpm
for installing a package from scratch (like what you
should do with
kernels) I use:
rpm -ivh *.rpm
I would expect an error in rpm if you use both i and
U in the same
command as you've done above. A segfault is a bit
much and I assume the
programmers haven't debugged that parameter
combination.
As to why it takes so long, I would rebuild the rpm
database and clear
the cache files - this smells like an old problem I
used to have.
Regards,
Ed.
