Re: [CentOS] Question about stubborn RPM

Hi,

First delete the rpm you installed with "rpm -e --force <rpmname>". That should do it. If not report back the error it gives when executing that command. Then you can install the rpm again.

[root@mail rpms]# rpm -e --force mysql-5.0.33-1.i386.rpm rpm: only installation, upgrading, rmsource and rmspec may be forced [root@mail rpms]#

I tried [root@mail rpms]# rpm -ivh -e --force mysql-5.0.33-1.i386.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:mysql ########################################### [100%]

but in fact it doesn't get installed.

:(

Any ideas ?

Warm Regards, Mário Gamito
