I want to uninstall the default version of firefox, however there appears to be 2 of the same rpm's installed and its complaining..
I've been in Solaris land for the last 5 years and my rpm skills aren't the most current; how is this achieved?
[root@canthus ~]# rpm -q -a firefox firefox-3.0.10-1.el5.centos firefox-3.0.10-1.el5.centos
[root@canthus ~]# rpm -e firefox-3.0.10-1.el5.centos error: "firefox-3.0.10-1.el5.centos" specifies multiple packages
Thanks in advance, rhugga

try a yum remove firefox that should remove it i would think.

Thanks!
Just curious, why are the 2 identically named packages? Is this just an oversight/bug on CentOS's part or does it serve some purpose?

its possible you had both 32bit and 64bit versions installed, I dunno.
yum list installed firefox;
that will tell you.

As pointed out elsewhere, it is likely that you are on x86_64 and have both i386 and x86_64 packages installed. This may be a "misfeature" but it is not attributable to CentOS, rather to Red Hat, and is the normal behavior. I like to define an rpm macro to work around it:
[root@poq1 ~]# cat ~/.rpmmacros # Change default RPM query format to show ARCH %_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch} [root@poq1 ~]# rpm -q firefox firefox-3.0.12-1.el5.centos.x86_64 firefox-3.0.12-1.el5.centos.i386
