I've upgraded my system from RH3.0.3 to RH4.0. There are also some
additional packages which are not included in "standard" RH
distributions.
Now it appears that I cannot remove some packages.
rpm --erase xxxx results "package xxxx is not installed"
I've tried to reinstall the packages resulting "package xxxx is already
installed". --force option does the work, but --erase still says that
packages are not installed. In reality those packages are installed
(all the files are there).
--rebuilddb does not help anyhow.
Obviously the /var/lib/rpm index files are somehow confused.
Any help is appreciated.
