I did a "yum groupremove Java" and that failed "somehow". Yum listed all group members as "erased", but some rpm packages failed because of missing config files or so. As a result none of the 50 packages were removed from the rpm database, but all of their files seem to have been removed. How can I clean them out from the rpm db?
