Here's the current state of affairs ->
[root@ruined root]# rpm -ve `rpm -vqa | grep quake`
error: package quake2-3.20-glibc-6 is not installed
error: package quake2-3.20-glibc-6 is not installed
error: package quake2-3.20-glibc-6 is not installed
error: package quake2-3.20-glibc-6 is not installed
error: package quake2-3.20-glibc-6 is not installed
[root@ruined root]# rpm -qa | grep quake
quake2-3.20-glibc-6
quake2-3.20-glibc-6
quake2-3.20-glibc-6
quake2-3.20-glibc-6
quake2-3.20-glibc-6
Nope, thanks for the tip though.
