Hi,

I'm trying to use the rpm command to refresh the httpd package which
has a broken httpd.conf file installed. (ie replace httpd.conf with a
stock copy) However I can't get the rpm to overwrite that file. (The
only way I have found is to actually delete the file manually, and
then rerun a forced install)

Any ideas on this?

Thanks,

Tom H
