You call always force it to uninstall. If the command line was rpm -ivh package-name.3.4.8-11a.rpm, try the "rpm -e package-name" basically without the numbers.
If it says it can't do it because of dependencies and you are sure you can get rid of it and things will be OK, try "rpm -e --force package-name".

(install was from the command line as root, not in a term window or with one of the package managers with the X system shut down) with the command rpm -ivh "package name" When it didn't work right I tried to unistall it from the command line (rpm -e "package name"). It says package not installed. If I try to reinstall it, it says package already installed. When I looked at it with one of the package manager's it shows the packages, but wants to unistall a whole bunch of dependencies that I know I need. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Donald Wright
