this has happened with me earlier as well (with yahoo mesenger package) and it happened today again (with kernel 2.4) so i am asking this on list..
both times i have removed the packages from the disk i.e. deleted them but when i went on to install new package, the message "package already installed" comes up. i have removed all of package. i cannot see even a single remaining file of previous package. is there any tool which can remove the whole of package all by itself? rpm -e ymessenger Mithun i am aware of this command.. i was more interested to know why i get package already installed message when i have removed the package? please oblige. regards vishesh Get Your Private, Free E-mail from Indiatimes at http://email.indiatimes.com Buy The Best In BOOKS at http://www.bestsellers.indiatimes.com Bid for for Air Tickets on Air Sahara Flights at Prices Lower Than Before.
