Okay, I tried installing OpenOffice beta, and I think I messed it up, so
I wanted to uninstall it.
I thought wilcards worked, so I tried:
[root@localhost program]# rpm -e openoffice*
error: package openoffice* is not installed
Okay, so I couldn't figure out how to remove a bunch of RPM packages at
once, so I did this:
[root@localhost program]# rpm -qa | grep openoffice
And proceeded the labourous task of removing all of the RPMs listed one
by one.
But then I got down to some files that would say:
rpm -e openofficeorg-core01-1.9.122-1.i586
error: Failed dependencies:
openofficeorg-core01 is needed by (installed)
openofficeorg-core08-1.9.122-1.i586
So then I'd remove the dependancy, and guess what?:
rpm -e openofficeorg-core08-1.9.122-1.i586
error: Failed dependencies:
openofficeorg-core01 is needed by (installed)
openofficeorg-core01-1.9.122-1.i586
The two packages are dependant on each other so I can't remove either.
*sigh*
So, how do I remove them?
