rpm -e removes a package, not rpm -U. You may need to use rpm -e
--justdb.

Subject: rpm question
I am needing to un-install an rpm package. Another user started the
install, it didn't install correctly so they deleted the directories and
subdirectories; they didn't use RPM to uninstall it. When I issue an
RPM
-U package-name rpm replies that it can't find the file or directory.
I've tried some
different rpm commands, like - -force and - - justdb
but still get the afore mention message. How can I remove the entry
from the rpm db? Thanks, Steve G.
