[yum] Can not remove the installed RPM

Hi,

I wrote a RPM and use the yum localinstall myrpm to install it successfully. But by uninstall with yum remove myrpm I got error as follow

Code:

/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.62401: line 40: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Error in PREUN scriptlet in rpm package t

I know there is an error in my spec file. But the problem is, I can't remove the RPM anymore. Thouhg I delete all the files and directories manually, but as I run 'yum info myrpm' I can get the infomration. This means the installed RPM is not removed clearly.

Any idea?

Next time try 'rpm -e --nopreun [packagename]'. Since you already deleted the files you only have to sync the RPMDB with 'rpm -e --justdb [packagename]'. And please test your scripts better.
