tried the following..................

[root@front rog]#[root@front rog]# rpm  -Uvh  --force /var/spool/up2date/httpd-2.0.40-21.11.i386.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]   1:httpd                  ########################################### [100%]service httpd does not support chkconfig
error: %post(httpd-2.0.40-21.11) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
[root@front rog]

 

stange:

.............   httpd does not support chkconfig !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tried the following.........  reduced data .........

 

[root@front rog]# rpm -V httpd-2.0.40-21.11
S.5....T c /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
S.5....T c /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd

[root@front rog]# rpm -V httpd-2.0.40-21.9 |wc -l
     61
[root@front rog]# rpm -V httpd-2.0.40-21 |wc -l
     61
[root@front rog]#[root@front rog]# rpm -V httpd-2.0.40-21 |grep -v "[.][.][.][.][.]" |wc -l
     56

 

[root@front rog]#[root@front rog]# rpm -V httpd-2.0.40-21.9 |grep -v "[.][.][.][.][.]" |wc -l
     54

 

[root@front rog]# rpm -V httpd-2.0.40-21.11 |grep -v "[.][.][.][.][.]" |wc -l
      2

 

 

which tells me theres an issue with the start/stop script  ( i had changed httpd.conf)      ..

S.5....T c /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd

 

httpd-2.0.40-21.9    looks woeful    #got to erase

httpd-2.0.40-21      looks woeful     #got to erase

 

 

 

httpd-2.0.40-21.11   looks OK  (only 2 files with probs)
