This is something that can't be fixed in DNF or RPM. It's more a packaging problem - the scriptlet is failing. You can probably remove it by hand by running rpm -e --noscripts <rpm> Daniel, NONE of your suggested fixes have worked. I have even tried rebuilding the rpmdb without success. Something in "rpm land" is in error. I just don't know enough about rpm to figure out what that is. Maybe physically removing all "evidence" of this duplicate rpm and then rebuilding the rpm db? Of course, the package was in error. I bet that if I were a paying customer, you guys could find a fix for me. If you want to close this bug you should change it to cantfix. George... |
