What I had written down from the meeting was-
# rpm -uvh the.package.name.rpm
but after opening the manpage, I thought "[pick an expletive, then
delete it] !! that can't be right."
So what's INSIDE the package is more important than the package name
itself, then. It'll still know it has to update /usr/bin/sylpheed. I
thought the package name might be some kind of "unique identifier".
I guess I still have that "REGISTRY" mindset.
Anyone else running Evolution, and having problems with daemons in the
prog dying and causing errors when they don't respawn ?
