How could I get rid of this error? "RPM package is not installed"

Selvanind · 06-11-2008, 05:14 AM

Hi,
I have created an RPM file for the MAVEN Source using the command "rpmbuild -ba mvn.spec".
i can install the rpm using "rpm -ivh Apache-maven-2.0.9.rpm". But when I try to uninstall using "rpm -e Apache-maven", I get the error

"error: package Apache-maven is not installed"..

The content of My spec file is

Summary: A program that installs Maven2.0.9 from source code.
Name: Apache-maven
Version: 2.0.9
Release: 3
Source0: apache-maven-2.0.9-bin.tar.gz
License: ObjectStyle License
Group: Development

Why it is happening? Plz help me in this issue.
Thanks in advance...

Hi and welcome to LQ.

What happens when you do

Code:

rpm -qa | grep -i apache

[root@localhost srpms]# rpm -qa | grep -i apache
Apache-maven-debuginfo-2.0.8-3
[root@localhost srpms]#

two files are created in srpms(Apache-maven-2.0.8-3.src.rpm) and rpms(Apache-maven-debuginfo-2.0.8-3.i386.rpm).but the file in rpms is only get installed.the other one after installing when we try to uninstall,its showing "error : package is not installed"...

After installing RPM in linux machine where maven is not installed,when we try to run the mvn command,it's showing mvn command not found.

Well, from the output, it seems like Apache-maven is not installed. You only installed the debuginfo rpm which you can uninstall by doing "rpm -e Apache-maven-debuginfo".
