I found the yum-util Œpackage-cleanup¹ which correctly found the dupe, but also failed to remove it. So now that I have an entry in my rpmdb with a malformed V that breaks the NVR matching, is there a way to selectively remove that one in particular? My only workaround seems to be ³rpm -ev rpmone-version-release² # remove good package ³rpm -ev ‹noscripts rpmone² # remove bad package ³rpm -Uvh rpmone-version-release.rpm² # put good package back Interestingly enough, I /can¹t/ remove the package via erase unless I specify the noscripts option. ? ________________________________ This email and any attachments may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient.
