[SOLVED] How to UNinstall a RPM

Aquarius_Girl · 08-24-2012, 06:39 AM

I installed the 93 version of unixODBC through rpm -i command.

Now, I wish to install the newer version of the same.
The below command show that files are conflicting, but at the same time, it also says that 93 version isn't installed!

Code:

anisha@linux-y3pi:~> uname -a && cat /etc/issue
Linux linux-y3pi 2.6.34-12-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2010-06-29 02:39:08 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Welcome to openSUSE 11.3 "Teal" - Kernel \r (\l).

Yes, I know 11.3 is old.

Code:

1) The "package id" is not "unixODBC-2.2.12-93.1.x86_64.rpm"
Please use : rpm -qa | grep unixODBC
.. to decide the package name ( unixODBC or unixODBC-2.2.12-93.1 )
Then you can do e.g. # zypper rm unixODBC

2) 'rpm -i' is an not to be used unless :
a) You want two versions of a library installed at the same time.
b) Or you are absolutely sure that no package with <name> is installed.

The normal install command ( also used by zypper ) is 'rpm -Uvh'.

Thanks for the helpful and prompt response.

Code:

anisha@linux-y3pi:~/Desktop/R> sudo rpm -qa | grep unixODBC
unixODBC-2.2.12-93.1.x86_64
anisha@linux-y3pi:~/Desktop/R> sudo rpm -e unixODBC-2.2.12-93.1.x86_64
warning: /etc/unixODBC/odbcinst.ini saved as /etc/unixODBC/odbcinst.ini.rpmsave
warning: /etc/unixODBC/odbc.ini saved as /etc/unixODBC/odbc.ini.rpmsave
anisha@linux-y3pi:~/Desktop/R> sudo rpm -i unixODBC-2.2.12-206.1.x86_64.rpm 
anisha@linux-y3pi:~/Desktop/R>

Will take take care w.r.t -i in future.
