[fedora-java] newbie question - Tomcat 4 instead of Tomcat 5 on FC4 - continued

[Bob Hartung]

Weel-l-l-l-l-l-,
   Something failed here.  When I do an rpm -qa | grep tomcat I get 
packages from both tomcat4 and tomcat5 listed.  If I do an rpm -ql 
[package name] I get nothing.  I have tried rpm --rebuilddb to try and 
straighten up the rpm database but the entries remain.  I will now have 
to try and find if there is a way to edit the rpm database to remove the 
incorrect entries.
   Always a learning experience!

Thanks!  If I can get the db cleaned up I will try your suggestions.

Bob
