Error while erasing a pkg
 
While trying to remove a pkg by rpm it's giving the error as:

PHP Code:
rpm -e --nodeps subversion
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.91518: line 7: /etc/init.d/svnserve: No such file or directory
error: %preun(subversion-1.6.13-11.1.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 127 
How will I remove this package ?

Again, Google could have easily told you this.

Try "rpm -e --noscripts". If that doesn't work, then try creating the file that's missing, so the "rpm -e" command can process correctly. The error message is pretty clear, and that would seem to make sense.

Ohh thanks, it was tryiing to execute the scriptlets. The --noscripts works successfully. Thanks a lot.

No problem. And reading the instructions/looking things up can often give you an answer, if you try.
