<br>
there is only one thing that requires that lib and it is an example<br>
script; if you are not using rtrfilter, you can force that installation.<br>

While rancid-run can take a rancid group as an argument, the groups normally<br>
come from LIST_OF_GROUPS in rancid.conf.<br>
<br>
I am more suspicious that you have more than one rancid group<br>
(/var/rancid/<groupname>) and you've updated one but not another with the<br>
same devices. another possibility is that permissions are incorrect on<br>
files/directories in the rancid group's directory, presumably:<br>
chown -R rancid /var/rancid<br>
<br>
Also, look at the rancid logs for given group.<br>
