Stupid choice using RPM
I installed firestarter on my server to configure my firewall (I know, I'm a slave to the GUI). It was an RPM package. Now I am wanting to uninstall it using the rpm -e command but I get an error that the package is not installed. It is in fact installed and I did type the package name correctly. Can anyone offer any help to uninstall it? I would just delete all references given to me by the whereis command but firestarter configures the firewall during the system startup and I am concerned that if I uninstall it by just deleting it it will screw up my system bootup.

first try
$rpm -q package_name to query and verify it is indeed there. Which you should be sure of but... then try $rpm -e --allmatches package_name |
Try running updatedb.

$locate uses, I thought the command for rpm was $rpm --rebuilddb I don't know and I just skimmed the man to check it out. I didn't see anything. I use apt4rpm so I don't muck with rpm directly too much. |
nevermind, I am an idiot. I figured it out, you have to just type the package name without all the file extensions.
