Having spent much of today wrestling with this very question, I have asmall suggestion for people designing full-service backup systems (bywhich I mean ones that have individual file indexes and an environmentfor restoring single files):

Please provide a command that summarizes all of the versions ofa file that you know about.

Most full-service backup systems can go back in time, so you can ask forthings like 'the version of the file on January 28th'. But what I reallywant is

Why do we need some new RPM tricks for dealing with multiarch machines?Simple:

; rpm -q glibcglibc-2.5-10.fc6glibc-2.5-10.fc6
