RPMs:"already installed" or "not installed?"


I 'd like to install an rpm (wingide2.0-2.0.0-b3 ), but as you see there is a problem:

[root@localhost WingIDEpython]# rpm -U *.rpm
package wingide2.0-2.0.0-b3 is already installed
[root@localhost WingIDEpython]# rpm -V *.rpm
package wingide2.0-2.0.0-b3.i386.rpm is not installed
[root@localhost WingIDEpython]# rpm -q -l *.rpm
package wingide2.0-2.0.0-b3.i386.rpm is not installed
...
root@localhost root]# cd /home/kostas/tmp/WingIDEpython
[root@localhost WingIDEpython]# rpm -U *.rpm
package wingide2.0-2.0.0-b3 is already installed

Can somebody explain?

How about rpm -q wingide2.0? If that doesn't show it as installed, maybe your RPM database is corrupted. Try rpm --rebuilddb and see if it helps at all. BTW rpm -U <package> will install the package even if it is not already installed. Use rpm -F to only upgrade it if it already exists.
