hi
I want to update an already existing rpm(say
Base.rpm) with a patch rpm (Base01.rpm) that contains tar of only the modified
files.
But when I try to updat it using rpm -U
--replacefiles Base01.rpm
The Base.rpm gets completely uninstalled which is
not desirable.
After doing changes in SPEC file of patch (only
having build of modified files and replacing only the executable
generated)
and executing :rpm -U --replacefiles Base01.rpm
I am able to retain the old rpm as well as the new
executable. However , there are two entries int the rpm database .
I am unable to have a single entry for the patch .
Pl. suggest any way through which I am able to retain Base rpm's files , the new
files of patch and as well as have a single entry in rpm database
Thanks and Regards
Sachin
