You could try "rpm -e packagename" or "yum remove packagename". Both should result in erasure of the package. ----- Original Message ----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx <redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx> To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx <redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thu Feb 11 09:26:30 2010 Subject: Equivalent of apt-get purge for yum I am looking for the equivalent of apt-get purge for yum to reinstall completely mysql-server package. What happend is I did install mysql-server then I added Remi repository to get a later version of mysql and since then, installing mysql is never complete. For exemple I don't have my.cnf configuration file anywhere in the file system. So I am looking for the equivalent of apt-get pure to completely remove everything from the previous installation and start all over again. Could someone advice me on how to do so?
