a lot of files "broken"???!!!


I use rh 9.0.
today,when I run hardware browser,it show "no such file or dir..."
and I chech "/usr/bin/"
I found that a lot of files are broken.
such as reahat-config-packages. .etc
and I find rpm from rh disk 2.
and install it
but it says the rpm are already installed
but when i #rpm -e *.rpm
it says the rpm isn't installed

what can I do??

" #rpm -e *.rpm "

don't use the .rpm extension when removing, just the packagename

rpm -e packagename

I removed the package by
rpm -e --nodeps redhad-config*

but I can intall it again
It seems that there is no applications to open the rpm.
what can I do

how about
Code:
rm -U --force *.rpm
Or are you saying that "rpm" isn't working any more? I'd check the HDD for failure.
