That still fails for a few packages because of the order I got from the
log. I was able to erase all of them from the rpm db now. But the whole
thing very much looks like a bug, or actually two bugs, in the
uninstallation procedure. I now got the errors again that I had neglected
to write down earlier.
rpm -e tomcat5-common-lib-5.5.23-0jpp.3.0.2.el5.i386

scriptlet failed, exit status 127
in consequence some other packages could not be removed because of
dependencies
To me that looks like two bugs:
1. several packages all want to remove the same file that obviously got
already removed by another package in the chain
2. the postuninstall scriptlet lets the whole erase procedure fail because
of a missing file, I think that's rather drastic
If that is a bug, where to report?
