can't uninstall Evolution

cdavidson · 04-07-2005, 07:03 PM

I've got Evolution 2.0.4 w/Evolution Connector installed on a FC3 box. I connect to an Exchange server for email. Recently, whenever I try to send a message, I get the following error:

Error while performing operation, Could not send message.

I know that the problem resides on the FC3 box because I haven't made any changes to the Exchange server, and all other clients are functioning normally. My solution to this was to uninstall and reinstall Evolution, but when I run rpm -e evolution I get the following:

Code:

[root@optiplex ~]# rpm -e evolution
error: Failed dependencies:
        libcamel.so.0 is needed by (installed) evolution-connector-2.0.4-1.i386
        libeshell.so.0 is needed by (installed) evolution-connector-2.0.4-1.i386
        libeutil.so.0 is needed by (installed) evolution-connector-2.0.4-1.i386
        evolution >= 2.0.1 is needed by (installed) evolution-connector-2.0.4-1.i386
        evolution = 2.0.4 is needed by (installed) evolution-devel-2.0.4-2.i386

When I try to remove it via FC3's GUI add/remove packages program, I get this error:

Code:

The following package could not be found on your system.  Installation cannot continue until it is installed.
Unlocatable Package:                             Required By:
Evolution                                                    "evolution-devel", "2.0.4", "2"

Can anyone tell me how I can get Evolution off my machine so that I can reinstall it, or better yet how I can fix it without having to remove it. Thanks in advance.

Install apt and synaptic from fedoraproject.org and then run synaptic and search for evolution, then uninstall.

Thanks for the reply...

I installed apt and synaptic, and used synaptic to remove Evolution and Evolution Connector. Then I used FC3's add/remove packages to reinstall them both. But when I open Evolution, my old account ( and my old problems ) are still there. Is there a configuration file somewhere that I need to delete?
