What were you trying to do?
clean up after I made a mess out of my pcmcia drivers
What went wrong?
verify will fail to forcibly install RPMs that need it on a
586 or lower machine if one of the ones that needs replacing
is listed as i686 in the rpm list. (The failure is because
it tries to install the i686 rpm and rpm (correctly) balks.)
