Possible bug in Redhat 6.2 RPM   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #12951 of 26827 |
I supplied an RPM to a consulting customer using the i686 so that it would
only install on a PIII. That works fine... However, an attempt was made
to install it on a lesser laptop by using the --force option and it would
not override it. Is this a bug?

I would think that --force would override all common sense and do the install
anyway... Please enlighten me...:)
