Topic: uninstall a contrib - mailman?

[dd3]

hi,

I want to uninstall the mailman contrib.

I used the following to install. please could someone tell me how to remove it? thanks

wget http://www.gormand.com.au/smeserver/WIP/smeserver-mailman/smeserver-mailman-1.3.0-14.noarch.rpm
wget http://www.gormand.com.au/smeserver/WIP/smeserver-mailman/mailman-2.1.5.1-34.rhel4.3sme01.i386.rpm
yum localinstall mailman-2.1.5.1-34.rhel4.3sme01.i386.rpm smeserver-mailman-1.3.0-14.noarch.rpm

tia.

rpm -e mailman-2.1.5.1-34
rpm -e smeserver-mailman-1.3.0-14

should work, the order is important as the smeserver rpm will have a dependency on the mailman rpm I expect.

Hi,

thanks for the reply.

I tried first command but got this:

[root@server ~]# rpm -e mailman-2.1.5.1-34
error: package mailman-2.1.5.1-34 is not installed

I assume this is because there was an update loaded for mailman... how do i find the correct version so i can correct the command?

thanks

[brianr]

rpm -qa | grep mailman

(paste the results here)

[dd3]

got this:

root@server ~]# rpm -qa ¦grep mailman
mailman-2.1.5.1-34.rhel4.6
[root@server ~]# rpm -qa ¦grep smeserver-mailman
smeserver-mailman-1.3.0-14
[root@server ~]#


so I tried adding the rhel bit onto the end of command and it came up with a dependancy error pointing to the smeserver-mailman. so ran that then reran the first command again.

mailman has gone from the server config pages and most of the files installed have gone......... THANKS for your help

brianr & dd3

rpm -e mailman-2.1.5.1-34
rpm -e smeserver-mailman-1.3.0-14

That's not quite correct.
It should be
rpm -e smeserver-mailman
rpm -e mailman
and in that order too, as smeserver-mailman is dependant on mailman, then mailman must be uninstalled last.

or on one line
rpm -e smeserver-mailman mailman

thanks. managed to get it done, but found a bug as per other thread (http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4222) . so may be using these commands again! thanks for your help.
