LinuxQuestions.org - rpm issues

Hello,

I am in the process of upgrading a few things on my system.

My probelm is that I tried to upgrade MySQL via rpm.

I issued the proper command

Code:

# rpm -U MySQL-server-4.0.18-0.rpm

So that I could upgrade the package.

That worked for the server, but now that I'm trying to integrate MySQL w/ PHP I am having a problem.

I decided to uninstall MySQL and start over. here is where I have the problem.

I try to remove the rpm and it says that its not installed, then I try to install the rpm and it says that it's already installed.

Code:

# rpm -e MySQL-server-4.0.18-0.i386.rpm

error: package MySQL-server-4.0.18-0.i386.rpm is not installed

# rpm -i MySQL-server-4.0.18-0.i386.rpm

warning: MySQL-server-4.0.18-0.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 5072e1f5

        package MySQL-server-4.0.18-0 is already installed

When I run MySQL it starts, so how do I remove it via rpm?

Thanks
