[mythtv-users] noob question about apt/rpm

[Jason White]

If a file is currently in use and you use apt or rpm to update a package
that needs to touch that file, how is it handled?  I know that on
Windows machines the file can't be overwritten so it gets queued up to
be overwritten on reboot.  On Linux I'm just not sure.

 

Examples:  ivtv is loaded and I run the rpm update.  Will it overwrite
all of the files it needs to?

                  Mythbackend 0.11 is loaded and I update via rpm to
0.12.  Bad?

 

Just curious.

 

Thanks,

Jason
