rpm is confused and so am I
I'm pretty new to linux, and am having a bit of trouble with rpm. My problem initially began with a failed attempt to install xine via rpm (proceeding a failed attempt to do so from the source) and it eventually led to rpm locking up. I tried:
# rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* # rpm -vv --rebuilddb and watched the messages go by... This fixed the problem with rpm locking up, but not with it being totally confused about my attempt to install xine from rpm. It tells me: # rpm -q xine-lib-1.0.0-fr0.beta9.1.i386.rpm package xine-lib-1.0.0-fr0.beta9.1.i386.rpm is not installed # rpm -i xine-lib-1.0.0-fr0.beta9.1.i386.rpm warning: xine-lib-1.0.0-fr0.beta9.1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID e42d547b package xine-lib-1.0.0-fr0.beta9.1 is already installed So... yeah... :scratch: |
Try listing all your xine* (what ever icludes the letters) with
Code:
#rpm -qa | grep xine Code:
#rpm -e xine-libxxxx Hope this helps |
there are specific files listed including dependencies on my guide (link below) for red hat 9
just go the the red hat 9 page |

I tired what you suggested to no avail. I went to all trees xine and inputted: # make install clean Then went to the directories with all the pesky xine rpms and inputted: # rpm -e xine-xxxx.i386.rpm error: package xine-xxxx.i386.rpm is not installed # rpm -i xine-xxxx.i386.rpm warning: xine-xxxx.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID e42d547b package xine-xxxx is already installed :confused: |
you need to query by PACKAGE not by FILE name
rpm -e xine-sucks not rpm -e xime-suck.i386.rpm |

That did it: ...after I (xine -q)'ed the right way: # rpm -e xine-lib and # rpm -e xine (doesn't quite fix my problem with xine, but I think I may be able to do that now...) <<<basking in my own stupidity>>> thanks guys |
use the files on my site! there are links there and everything.
i dunno what else to tell you. |
