Make sure you aren't appending something like ".i386.rpm" onto the end of the package name when you do "rpm --erase".

I went to uninstall an program with rpm (rpm --erease) The message I get back is program is not installed. I then installed the program with rpm and the message I get back is program is already installed. I then did a force install with rpm (rpm -ivh --force). This went through without any indicated problems. I then tried to remove the program again and it failed withe same message, program not installed. I then had rpm do a rebuild (rpm --rebuilddb), this appeared to work (at least no messages). What is wrong and how do I fix it. david -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
