Hi,

While reading through the rpm man page, I came across the following entry under the "Install and Upgrade" section.

--allfiles
	Installs or upgrades all the missingok files in the package.

My question is what is a "missingok" file?

Is it a typo in the man page, or an entity in its own right?

rpm 4.0.3 on Mandrake

Thanks!

Hamster
