       Hello,

       I check my rpm with :

        while read line
        do
           toto=`echo $line | sed -e s"/.rpm//"`
           echo $toto
           rpm -V $toto 
        done < /var/log/rpmpkgs
       
       and reinstall with :

       rpm --nodeps -e NAME_OF_RPM                                           
       yum install NAME_OF_RPM

       I had to do that for 28 packages this week-end, I'll explain 
       later why.
