Hi,

> I'm trying to reinstall a package manually with rpm in SuSE 9.0 and some config files doesn't get updated. I tried with --force, --replacefiles and so on, and that files doesn't get updated anyway. I don't know if it's a security issue or something I have to worry about...
> Do you know how to *really* reinstall a complete package (including configuration files)?
> Thanks in advance.

--> When I want to make sure that everything is replaced, I de-install
the package and then reinstall it again:
rpm -e packagename
rpm -Uhv packagename.rpm

Good luck!

Armin
