Simple Reinstall
Today I was wondering how to reinstall all packages in Fedora. It isn't that necessary, but sometimes it can be useful. I had to reinstall certain packages, but as I couldn't find which is causing the problem (the problem was somewhere within
xorg-x11), I decided to reinstall all
xorg-x11 ones in terminal (I couldn't access the X server). Since it would be stupid to reinstall entire system from the DVD (data would be lost), it was necessary to find a solution. So... in order to reinstall some packages only (
xorg-x11 for instance), execute this command:
yum reinstall *xorg-x11*
If you want to reinstall all packages, go to some empty directory and type this:
yum reinstall *
