How should i remove a rpm? I installed gabber, so i did rpm -e gabber-x-x-x.rpm , but this give me the error that it is not installed??
Ok, i try gnorpm, i select the rpm, select uninstall and get this: "Application 'gnorpm' process xx has crashed due fatal error Segmentation fault"
Why can't i seem to uninstall gabber??

Have you tried rpm -e gabber (ie without all the version numbers)?

You might have to rebuild your RPM database first, that seg fault worries me.

Try rpm --rebuilddb as root, and then try to re-install gabber.

Also, what version of RPM are you using? RPM 3x or 4x? (3x won't install RPMs created with 4x)

Good luck.

rpm -i gabber-x-x-x.rpm

rpm -q grabber (to query)

rpm -e grabber (to uninstall)
