You could try rpm -e --noscripts your_package_name You will need to manually clean up anything left behind in the filesystem.

I had a wrong script ( a perl script with syntax errors) in the %preun portion of the rpm spec file. I could install the rpm fine. But I am unable to uninstall it. I tried to rebuild the rpm with the correct script in preun, so that i can upgrade and then erase the rpm. But that doesnot work. I would be very helpful if I can get some help/guidance. Is there a way to delete the rpm entry from the rpm db??
