Okay, I tried installing OpenOffice beta, and I think I messed it up, so I wanted to uninstall it.
I thought wilcards worked, so I tried: [root@localhost program]# rpm -e openoffice* error: package openoffice* is not installed
Okay, so I couldn't figure out how to remove a bunch of RPM packages at once, so I did this: [root@localhost program]# rpm -qa | grep openoffice
And proceeded the labourous task of removing all of the RPMs listed one by one.
But then I got down to some files that would say: rpm -e openofficeorg-core01-1.9.122-1.i586 error: Failed dependencies: openofficeorg-core01 is needed by (installed) openofficeorg-core08-1.9.122-1.i586
So then I'd remove the dependancy, and guess what?: rpm -e openofficeorg-core08-1.9.122-1.i586 error: Failed dependencies: openofficeorg-core01 is needed by (installed) openofficeorg-core01-1.9.122-1.i586
The two packages are dependant on each other so I can't remove either. *sigh* So, how do I remove them?
