RPM problem
Hello, I have tried to install a 32 bit driver on a 64 bit box via rpm. It failed but it put the entry in the RPM database so I can not install the new driver becasue it thinks it is already installed. How to I delete the entry from the rmp database?
Thanks |
rpm -e thenameofthepackage

Actually rpm -e is what was throwing th eerror. So I tried a few things....i added .i386 to the end of the file then I was able to remove it and instal lthe correct one.

hi ;
I had the same problem ; you need to query your rpm database in more specific ; you can use this command ; lists installed rpms in fully qualified name ; then you can uninstall the 32 bit verision (*.i386.) then install 64 bit version ; rpm -qa --queryformat %{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}n | grep YOURRPMNAME rpm -e "output of previously command " have a nice day ; |
