I am switching the box that I did the HIPL rpm builds over to running from rpms built directly by the HIPL team (http://infrahip.hiit.fi/hipl/release/1.0.4/).
I did the 'make uninstall' and then 'yum install hipl-all', but the hipl-firewall rpm did not install. Seems like I have a mess on my system with the various hipfw files. I 'manually' deleted a bunch of them (perhaps a mistake), and then tried 'yum install hipl-firewall' and it reported that it was installed. So I tried a 'yum erase hipl-firewall' and got two errors:
hipfw: unrecognized service error reading information on service hipfw: No such file or directory
Then I get a 'Removed: hipl-firewall.i386 0:1.0.4-1' and a 'Complete!'.
I then do a 'yum install hipl-firewall' and get that it is installed and there is nothing to do....
Well, it is not installed, but there is something in yum that says it is installed. What to do? man yum does not show any options to force the install. So how do I get around this foobar?
