Frustrated...

["Jason A. Pfeil" <pfeil nu cs fsu edu>]

Is there an rpm mailing list that anyone knows about?  There's an annoying
lack of a feature that I want to know if anyone knows how to do.  Here it
is:  I want to upgrade a package IF AND ONLY IF it is already installed.
rpm -U <pkg> is the same as rpm -e <pkg> and then rpm -ivh <pkg>.  Well, I
don't want it installed if it isn't already installed.  This way I can
simply download all the updates to RH and only install the updates to the
packages I have installed.  I can't find a way to do this, so if anyone
can point me to a list or help me out here, I'd be very grateful...I could
even stand it if there were a way to ask rpm if a package was installed
and that's it...then I could write a perl script to do what I want.

Thanks.
