Uninstalling an RPM

[L.I. Surfer]

I have recently installed a unstripped version of WINE by data party, i tried to uninstall it by rpm -e and linux said that it wasn't installed, but when i try to reinstall it , linux tells me it is installed??? How do i manually uninstall a rpm package?

Do not include the .rpm extention when you uninstall. If the package is some-cool-app.i386-1mdk.rpm, the command would be like this:
rpm -e some-cool-app.i386-1mdk
Hope that helps? :)


To find the correct package name, type the following:
rpm -qa | grep some-cool
This will give you the correct package name for the 'some-cool-app'.
