you use the command "rpm -e {the package you want to uninstall}" this will uninstall any pakage you want to uninstall. you can also use the add & remove utility as well to remove the programs that you do not want. On 8/7/07, *Karl Larsen* <k5di@xxxxxxxxxx <mailto:k5di@xxxxxxxxxx>> wrote:

I have a list from yum.log of the rpm files I want to remove so printing will work again. I tried yum remove but it wants to remove all

The output format from the yum logs are different from the package name that you need to pass to RPM. The version string should be separated from the package name by a dash, and the i386 shouldn't be needed (unless you're running multilib). Your command should be more like:

rpm -e udev-113-8.fc7

That should match the output you would find if you were to query RPM just by package name and not by package name + version string. On my machine:

[justin@ra ~]$ rpm -q udev
udev-095-17.fc6

I'm sorry Justin you simply do not understand. I have to replace the existing updated rpm with an older one. hard to do!
