advice, the actual problem is that I don't know what files are causing my issue, but I am pretty sure they aren't files I modified by hand. I think
to see what you really changed, rpm -V
Then you can use the other trick to get the original files, and hence their differences with, er, diff.
maybe one of the GUI tools changed some file I am not familiar with (or F7 did on account of a change I made in a file I am familiar with). So I am hoping someone could point me toward such a file. I need to know what could cause my situation, which I believe is fully described starting at "11)". Everything prior to that is part of the cause and/or attempts to get rid of extra bridges. Dustin

I didn't want, but couldn't get rid of). I thought undonig changes would surely get me back to where I started, so I didn't bother with backups (though, admittedly, backups really equate to undoing changes, so I don't know what good additional copies of the files I might have backed up would have done). My experience went something like this:
I don't feel like reading the rest when I can point you at a backup:-)
cd <some sandpit>
rpm2cpio <whatever.rpm | cpio --extract --make-directories
Find and copy the files you want.
