Title: How to uninstall a rpm?
Post by: Bill on July 24, 2003, 07:32:03 AM

I installed the flexbackup rpm and now need to remove it. I have never had to uninstall anything on linux so pardon the newbie question....

How do I uninstall rpm's?

TIA,

Bill

rpm -e rpm.name.but.dont.include.architecture

if you installed dmc-mitel-portforwarding-0.0.1-5.noarch.rpm, to uninstall it'd be:

rpm -e dmc-mitel-portforwarding-0.0.1-5

Bill,

Easy:

rpm -e nameofpackage

for example I install crap-0.1-04.rpm to uninstall I would:

rpm -e crap-0.1-04
