passwd
to reset the password for root. It looked like I needed to reinstall cracklab-dicts.i386
, but I didn't know how to force this. I could not uninstall it, that would uninstall all most all of Fedora, which I discovered the hard way.Someone had a similar need, only for their kernel, as reported in the e-mail [Yum] Re: yum install -force package. The solution was to run:
rpm -e --justdb --nodeps kernel-2.4.22-2gthen,
yum update kernelwould "do the right thing" and reinstall the package. Well, I had to do something slightly different:
rpm -e --justdb --nodeps cracklib-dicts.i386If that does not work try using:
yum install cracklib-dicts.i386
rpm -e --nodeps cracklib-dicts.i386instead. I did both and I'm not sure which actually permitted
yum
to do its thing.
