List, I made syslog-ng and libol 1.6.8 (http://www.balabit.com/downloads/syslog-ng) rpms with supplied specs. Configured syslog-ng - and it's fantastic. Ok. I saw that this wasn't the latest version, so downloaded v1.9.5 and the supporting eventlog-0.2.3+20050116+1856 libs and header tarballs. There weren't any spec files, so I wrote my own and installed the resulting rpms. This is on RHAS3, update 4, rpm-4.2.3-10. Unfortunately, it crashed (never mind why), so I decided to rpm -e the two rpms and reinstall what worked. This went fine for syslog-ng-1.6.8-1.i386.rpm, BUT although 'rpm -qa | grep event' gave the proper rpms: eventlog-devel-0.2.3+20050116+1856-1 eventlog-0.2.3+20050116+1856-1 when i try to erase them, rpm says: error: package eventlog-0.2.3+20050116+1856-1 is not installed. Oh, but it is - I can see all my docs, libs and headers, so ... and using (single|double) quotes didn't help. The conclusion is, 'rpm -e' doesn't like/recognize the name, whilst 'rpm -Uvh' did. To avoid this kind of thing in future, what are the rules for naming rpms (or where can I find them)?
