Problem uninstalling a RPM
 

Hi

I have a problem trying to uninstall the Wine RPM package.

I did an non work install and then, when i tried to uninstalling typing:

rpm -e wine

I get this error:

error: %preun(wine-20030408-1rh8winehq) scriptlet failed, exit status 1

I need to uninstall it first for reinstall it then.

(Sorry for my bad english)

Thanks!

reinstall it with rpm -i --force wine
or try rpm -e --force wine

When i tried with that it seems to freeze and i can do nothing...
i must aborting with CTRL + C

any ideas? :confused:

Try doing:

rm -f /var/rpm/lib/__db*
rpm --rebuilddb

The second command may take some time.

?????? scratch scratch,
Does RedHat not have a software-manager ?
Or try with Midnight Commander, if you have not got it install it, great tool, all functions under F2 !

redhat has a software manager called redhat-config-package

Before unistalling you have to check for dependencies. Wine has dependencies.
cl: rpm -q --whatrequires <package>
After that run:
rpm -evv <package>|more
the -vv <> |more shows the output so you will see what was deleted
