Title: RPM problems
Post by: John Lewis on September 24, 2001, 11:11:41 PM

Greetings.  I'm trying to upgrade to Darrell's SMEV5 fixed procmail RPM.

When I tried to -U the RPM, I got the following:

[root@gluon /root]# rpm -Uvh dmc-mitel-procmail-0.0.1-2.noarch.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
file /etc/e-smith/templates-user-custom/.qmail/e-smithForward20 from install of
dmc-mitel-procmail-0.0.1-2 conflicts with file from package e-smith-procmail-0.1
-2
file /etc/e-smith/web/functions/altuser from install of dmc-mitel-procmail-0.0.1
-2 conflicts with file from package e-smith-procmail-0.1-2

So I then queried to see what was installed?

[root@gluon RPMS]# rpm -q e-smith-procmail
e-smith-procmail-0.1-2

So then tried to remove it... and got:

[root@gluon RPMS]# rpm -e e-smith-procmail-0.1-2.noarch.rpm
error: package e-smith-procmail-0.1-2.noarch.rpm is not installed

What do I do now?  How can I upgrade the RPM?  --force?

Thanks

John,

try to uninstall as follows:

rpm -e e-smith-procmail-0.1-2 only.
