A different possible approach: Supposedly this command will forcibly reinstall a package from an rpm file, replacing any accidentally deleted files:<br>
<br>
rpm -U --force <package.rpm><br>
<br>
I found a forum post that suggests that the "yum-utils" package includes a "package-cleanup" command that will do this without making you manually track down the rpm files.<br>
<br>
YMMV; I'm more of a Debian guy. I happen to have a Red Hat system here at work where I can pull up man pages, but I don't have root access to test anything out (or install yum-utils).<br>
