i'v recently installed wine on RH9 and i need help uninstalling it completely. When i tryed to uninstall it worked fine, but when i tryed to reinstall a different version it said "package 'wine' is already installed. i'v tryed useing
rpm --rebuilddb but it says something along the lines of it being busy so that it couldnt and i realy need to reinstall it.
Please help.

rpm -qa | grep wine

That should list all RPMs of wine you have.

Well, this might sound silly, but make sure that

a) No other rpm operations are going on, or
b) You're root, as being a normal user will bring up 'busy' messages.


If all else fails:

rpm -i --force wine_foo.rpm

(Warning, a tad dangerous)
