It sounds like a corrupt database, but I've never seen a message like that one before. You can try rebuilding the database with: rpm --rebuilddb You'll need write access to the rpm database.

For example, if you install kdelibs-22.0alpha.i386.rpm (not a real filename, but an example), you'll see something like this: kdelibs # To uninstall, you would type "rpm -e kdelibs" rather than the whole filename.

[expert] rpm troubles in LM 8.0
Hello, When I install an rpm (rpm -Uvh filename.rpm) everything goes ok. But, when I go to unistall the rpm it says that the rpm does not exist? But, if I try to install it again it says that it has already been installed? I even try to update the rpm data base (rpm -i --rebuilddb) but I still cannot unistall rpms. Anyone have any idea what the problem could be? Thanks
