I can't seem to make rpm remove it. Says it's not installed, but it is. Rebuilt the database and still says it's already installed when I tried to reinstall it, but says it's NOT installed when I try to remove it ...hmmmph. I know where the rm -f keys are :-)
I would guess a syntax error. What is the command line you are trying to remove it with?
Nope.. not a syntax error. rpm -e linc-1.0.3-3.1.x86_64.rpm which is the rpm name.
Yes, it is a syntax error. For the "-e" arguement rpm takes the package name, not the file name. The command should be:
rpm -e linc
or, if you have multiple versions (usually only for kernels)
rpm -e linc-1.0.3-3.1
Yep.. you were right. I've just finished coffee.. definately a brain bust this morning :-)
Thanks guys.....
