Problem In uninstalling Subversion
 

I'm newbie and i got this error while uninstalling Subversion

[root@staff /]# rpm -qa |grep -i subversion
subversion-1.4.2-4.el5_3.1
subversion-1.4.2-4.el5_3.1
[root@staff /]# rpm -e subversion-1.4.2-4.el5_3.1
error: "subversion-1.4.2-4.el5_3.1" specifies multiple packages
[root@staff /]#


regards

RHEL5 CentOS5 etc. : Old "subversion-1.4.2-4.el5_3.1".
? Installed with the forbidden command # 'rpm -i ' ?
( The normal install command is # 'rpm -Uvh ' ).


Please try : # yum install subversion
And you will update to the latest 'subversion-1.6.11-7.el5_6.4'
(( Removing : # yum remove subversion )).

Or if you have no internet connection / no Redhat license :
# yum localinstall subversion-1.6.11-7.el5_6.4*

Seems like your RPMdb is corrupted... Try recreating the Db ..
