I tried to install alsa 1.0.19 on centos 5.3 64 - did not work - compile errors.
I need to re-install alsa-lib and alsa-util . I dont want to do rpm -e first on those packages as dependcy is crazy. I know they were installed (rpm -qa | grep alsa tells me so) I just want to re-install ? How do I do that?
You can remove them with "rpm -e pkgnames --nodeps" and then reinstall them with yum. I had to do this recently with some strangeness that was goign on with kpartx and device-mapper-multipath of al things.
hope this helps
