RH 8.0 package uninstall
OK, this may sound like a stupid question, but how do you remove third party packages from RH 8? When you run "system settings/packages" from the redhat menu, you get a list of packages installed during the RH installation, but if you install anything after that, it is not listed. Is there a gui tool for this, or do I have to run something from the command line to find packages? Thanks in advance!

Is it an RPM?
if so just "rpm -e packagename" |
Uninstall

I see. I seem to recall there was a command to update (or recreate) the rpm database, but I cannot think of it off hand. It seems to me that even third-party rpm's should be added to the db.
As far as a gui, there is "install packages" from the gui menu (i don't know the cli name) but I have found it to be quite useless. So if I understand you, you installed an rpm after your main installation, but you want to remove it now, but don't remember the name? If this is so, perhaps describe what the package did/was for, and some one might be able to suggest some possible packages that might be the one you are trying to recall... |
