How do u completely uninstall rpm's?

How do you completely uninstall rpm's and their libraries. I have used the rpm -e .... but that doesnt help.

I install xcdroast and then i upgraded it. Well i got conflicting libraries or something....because it gives me this error...i dont not sure what the conflict is....

buddy:~ # xcdroast

** WARNING **: Invalid cdrecord version 1.9 found. Expecting version 1.10

I think getting cdrecord 1.10 would be easier than removing cdroast and more industrious also.

I have that version....I have tried to install it...it says it is already installed..I have removed xcdroast and then installed just the updated version...



buddy:~ # cd downloads/xcdroast
buddy:~/downloads/xcdroast # ls
cdrtools-cdda2wav-1.10-1.i386.rpm cdrtools-mkisofs-1.10-1.i386.rpm

Have you tried upgrading the rpm. Rpm doesn't care about the version number, just the name of the package.

rpm -Uvh packagename.rpm
