RPM database problem?

[foxb13]

Hi there,

I'm experiencing a strange problem: it's like if my system is always up to date (although I know it isn't). For example, if I download updated versions of a set of currently installed RPMS, rpm -F to freshen them has no effect. And the update agent always says that there is no update available. I've tried to rebuild my RPM database with rpm --rebuilddb without a success. I must precise that initially, the update agent and rpm -F were working correctly as I regularly updated my system. What can cause this annoyance?

Thanks.

Is there any version difference? Compare the version number of rpm -q packagename to the upgrade file.

Yes, there is definitely a difference: e.g. kdelibs-3.2.2-4 is installed and I'm trying to update to kdelibs-3.2.2-7 with rpm -F. Nothing happens.
