I noticed a strange thing on my CentOS 4 workstations today. Immediately after installing the tetex suite (tetex-xdvi tetex-dvips tetex tetex-latex tetex-afm tetex-fonts), "rpm -V tetex" reports some package inconsistencies: rpm -V tetex ........C /usr/bin/amstex ........C /usr/bin/bamstex ........C /usr/bin/bplain ........C /usr/bin/lambda ........C /usr/share/texmf/web2c/amstex.fmt ........C /usr/share/texmf/web2c/bamstex.fmt ........C /usr/share/texmf/web2c/bplain.fmt ........C /usr/share/texmf/web2c/cont-en.efmt etc.. After investigating, it appears that these files belong to tetex and rpm -V inconsistencies appear only after I also install tetex-latex. The strange thing about it is that I can't find the definition of "C" in the rpm manual page. Moreover, the entire field where C is printed on CentOS is not printed on RHEL4. I tried looking at the differences in the source RPMs for RHEL 4 and CentOS 4 but couldn't find anything. Any thoughts on the rpm issue? -akop

The selinux context of those files has changed. -- Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. -Arthur C. Clarke

What you are talking about is "rpm verify" against which you can use your favorite search engine or look at rpm.org :- http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/ch-rpm-verify.html http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-verify-what-to-verify.html __________________________________________________ Improve the mailing list by performing a simple search before posting and reading the FAQ/etiquette.
