there's an --force option for rpm so you can install it again. then erase it ? >>> "Wayne Dozier (Greensboro College)" <kwdozier@xxxxxxxxx> 07/26/05 10:19 PM >>> Just getting back into Redhat after spending 2 years with Debian and I have an issue. I just installed an RPM and I need to remove it, I run rpm -e XXXXX.rpm and it says the RPM is not installed, I run rpm -q XXXXX and it gives the program and version I just installed. If I try to do a rpm -i XXXXX.rpm, it says it is already installed. I then try the rpm - e and it still says it is not installed. I went into /var/lib/rpm and removed the __db.* and ran --rebuilddb and it still gives the same issue. I downloaded a newer version of the RPM (the correct version) and tried rpm -U and this fails saying there is a conflict of files. I tried jjust removing the files and even though they are gone, it still gives me the conflict. How can I remove this rpm and all files associated with it so that I can install the correct RPM?
