1) Never use 'rpm -e --nodeps ', unless you know what will happen.

2) Use another rpm based Linux OS to unpack the missing files : See #13.

the command

Code:

 rpm -e --nodeps xlrunner

had been indicated by RedHat support.

# 16.

Reason for saying "Never use 'rpm -e --nodeps" :
At some time you (or somebody else) have removed "rpm",
or deleted /usr/bin/rpm

You can of course remove xulrunner.
But no connected packages will work with no xulrunner. ( firefox, etc.)

In fact, in /usr/bin there is only rpmbuild command.

Unpack

Code:

rpm2cpio <package.rpm> | cpio -idmv

the packages I do it by my own OS? I have the installation CD where I can get the rpm packages that are needed?

Its strange. but install rpm first

Code:

# yum install rpm

Or probably rpm database has become corrupt. Try first:

Code:

# rpm --rebuilddb

Reinstall xulrunner (if you think some parts have been broken):

Code:

# yum reinstall xulrunner

Then try to remove it:

Code:

# yum remove xulrunner

If there is problem in yum cache:

Code:

# yum clean all
# yum makecache

When I run the yum command with any option the result is in the attached image.

This guy ran into problem similar like yours "can't use yum or rpm to install any software"

check post by 'Russ herrold' and also the last post that could be helpful to you.

It's the big problem.

The system does not even command rpm2cpio.

Boot in rescue mode with RHEL install disk
by default '/' is mounted at /mnt/sysimage
there use rpm2cpio and follow the steps as stated previous link

Redhat gave me a part of the solution I think. RedHat's solution does not differ from that written by you on the forum.
It 'arose only a problem when I start RedHat in rescue mode I get the following error:

Hello,

I solved much more easily with the following commands:

cd /
tar xfvz rpm-4.4.2.3-32.el5_9.x86_64.tar.gz
cd rpm-4.4.2.3-32.el5_9.x86_64.tar.gz_FILES/bin
rpm --rebuilddb
yum reinstall rpm

WORK!!!!
