Reinstalling packages with missing/corrupt files

August 7, 2022 by Magenaut

Following an unclean shutdown and a colourful fsck, a whole bunch of files have gone missing. The output of ‘rpm -Va’ is several hundred lines long (mostly missing files but also some checksum and other mismatches). Is there an easy way to reinstall packages which have missing and/or corrupt files?

Is there a way to install and remove packages in a single yum command?

August 7, 2022 by Magenaut

Is there a way to add and remove packages at the same time with a single yum command? For example, installing postfix and removing sendmail without running two separate commands/transactions.
