Did a yum erase of lzo (which also takes out mplayer\* - not a critical application for me). Yummed in lzo and got exactly what you predicted. # ls -l `locate liblzo` lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root \ 15 Dec 16 18:11 /usr/lib/liblzo.so.1 -> liblzo.so.1.0.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 404506 Nov 4 02:39 /usr/lib/liblzo.so.1.0.0 Yummed in mplayer and checked again. All OK. An rpm verify on lzo and mplayer was good too. Note the 11/4 date on liblzo. That leads me to conclude that neither another package nor my manual machinations were the cause (ignoring, conveniently, other possible ill-advised activities I may have undertaken and subsequently forgotten!? 8-O ) of this problem. > <snip> I think now the thing I should do is try a general rpm --verify and see what happens. -- Bill
