I am trying to erase an rpm with yum erase. It fails:

service hipfw does not support chkconfig

Removed: hipl-firewall.i386 0:1.0.4.1 Complete!

And it is not removed....

If I try with rpm -e, I get the same error message.

So how do I remove this rpm?

--noscripts ?

tried 'yum --noscripts erase hipl-firewall' and got the error:

command line error: no such option: --noscirpts

Seems like what I would want, but a man yum did not show any such option....

You didn't spell it correctly. It's an option for rpm, not yum.

Well, this is on another system, so I am looking at one screen and typing on another. For us dyslexic people, typos are normal....

'rpm --noscripts -e' worked.

the rpm is gone. So too is the /etc/rc.d/init.hipfw

thanks!
