A tip for redhat recovery



I mkfs-ed my /usr partition the other day.  And with the help of a backup tape
(which unfortunately only had about 80% of /usr on it) and re-installing with
the "--force" option a whole slew of RPM's I got just about everything back. 
Except nothing would print, ghostscript just died with a "invalid font" error. 
So with strace and looking at another machine I hadn't trashed (yet) I
discovered that the ghostscript packaged requires the urw-fonts package but it
is not registered as a package dependency.  I thought I'd throw this message out
to the list as it's a nasty and un-intuitive "bug",  and I've never even noticed
the urw-fonts package before.
