Re: Swarm corrupts.

[Li An]

Hi,

The problem mentioned in my last email was fixed by reinstalling the rpms 
using:

rpm -ivh --replacepkgs *.rpm

I have another related question: if I move the packages (as shown as *.rpm 
above) to another directory, say /home/anli/myApp/, and issue the above 
command again, then will these packages be installed elsewhere 
(/home/anli/myApp/), or simply overwrite the previously-installed one at a 
unchanged directory? Simply put, it does not matter where you put the 
rpm's, the installation of them will always go to the same place (in my 
case, under /usr)?

Thanks,

Li
