Anders----- >From lsbom it looks like there were some things in /private once, but no more. The Python packages are also gone. The Perl package is still there, and I wonder if I should leave it alone or get rid of it (would there be any non-RPM dependencies it might break?). And then once done should I delete /Library/Receipts/RPM5.pkg itself?
I already followed the previous poster's advice, so I have already (mostly) removed RPM. It was so broken there was no way of querying what was installed anyway. A spotlight search for .rpm files has not turned up anything. (I did all this because brew doctor complained about the rpm files in /usr/local.) The mono installation was there, I think, because of Wine, but Wine is gone because it was in a broken Macports installation (all these things seem to break when the transfer to a new laptop happens). If you know any good web sites that explain Mac software installation (the pkg system, what all the various directories /usr/local, /private, etc. are for), I'd love to hear about it..... Thanks, Nick.
