Topic: Remove / Reinstall contrib ?

[fpausp]

I had problems with the crontab-manager contrib (1.2-1 ), I tried to update it with (1.2-4) but it was also not working...

I would like to remove / reinstall crontab-manager, when i  - yum remove sme-..... - it looks like all is ok but after a reboot the contrib is still there.

Code: [Select]

yum list installed | grep cron
anacron.i386                         2.3-45.el5.centos                 installed
crontabs.noarch                      1.10-11.el5                       installed
sme-crontab_manager.noarch           1.2-1                             installed
sme-crontab_manager.noarch           1.2-4                             installed
vixie-cron.i386                      4:4.1-81.el5                      installed


How can I remove it and reinstall it ?

Hum... have you read the same page you used to install it ?
http://wiki.contribs.org/Crontab_Manager

I found this:
http://wiki.contribs.org/Crontab_Manager#Uninstallation


BTW: your command show not crontab manager not once, but TWICE!

FYI: trying to remove a addon using yum is dangerous because it can remove more than desired... be warned... and keep BOTH  EYES open!!!

Remove should work like this:

rpm -e sme-crontab_manager-1.2-4
rpm -e sme-crontab_manager-1.2-1

then yum localinstall sme-crontab_manager (assuming you have this rpm somewhere locally stored, I cannot find it in the repositories).

Hope that helps.

Seems that something specific to this rpm package in its un-installation cannot be processed. I have no idea what this is but have a feeling that this could be a very old contrib which is actually not made for the SME version that you are using it? Sorry, not more help from here. I don't know that particular contrib at all (and could not find it in any repository?)
