However, -e works on installed _packages_ and so the file name the package came out of isn't relevant. You just need to give it the name of the package itself. By tradition, package files are named name-version-release.arch.rpm. This coincides with how you reference packages (name-version-release) but it's just that -- a coincidence. (An intentional coincidence, sure....) You could name your original package just "speex.rpm" (SuSE used to do this, at least; maybe they still do), or you could name it "fleebnork.txt.exe" or whatever you wanted. But it'd still contain the package speex-1.0.3-2.1 inside, and if you installed it, that's what you'd need to reference. So, this is telling you the truth: > # rpm -e speex-1.0.3-2.1.i386.rpm > error: package speex-1.0.3-2.1.i386.rpm is not installed There's no package called that. "i386.rpm" is just part of the original filename, not the package name itself. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://www.mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/> _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
