hi all!
i am not able to uninstall a rpm package in SL3.0.6 .i have used commands
rpm -e packagename
rpm -evv packagename
rpm -e --nodeps packagename
rpm -e --noscripts packagename
i think i have deleted the package directory by mistake .now what should
i do to remove the package completely,so that i can reinstall a fresh copy
Please give us the error messages - you might be able to rebuild your
RPM database for instance.
However, if all you want to do is "reinstall a fresh copy" this is easy:
rpm --install --replace-pkgs packagename.rpm
This will do exactly what you want - replace the existing RPM with the
files from packagename.rpm and also run the post install script.
