[cobalt-users] Re: Validating Versions (was: HELP)

["Fred Damstra" <fdamstra@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My sendmail's working, but I'm not sure that the package actually took.
I expected the updated sendmail packages to increase the sendmail
version, but it's still lower than I expected.

This returns: sendmail{-conf,-doc,-cf,}-8.10.2-C4
What should it be?  This matches up with the version I get when I telnet
to port 25.

GUI shows both 16402 and 16429 installed, and I'm certain I installed
them in the proper order.

I'm also concerned about the GlibC update and whether that actually
took.  There were some gpg complaints during installation, but it
reported the installation as successful.  

In this case, 'rpm -qa | grep -i glibc' returns some scarily old
versions.
compat-glibc-5.2-2.0.7.2
glibc-profile-2.1.3-29
glibc-devel-2.1.3-29
fileutils-4.1-C2glibc2.1
glibc-2.1.3-29

Are these old?  Is there a way to force installation of packages overtop
the old one via cobalt_upgrade (maybe), akin to rpm --force?

Any good tools for listing what rpms are inside of a pkg?
