Description Leonid Zhaldybin 2012-01-11 13:09:47 UTC 
Description of problem:
After installing the package qpid-cpp-server-0.14-4.el5, I was unable to uninstall it using "yum erase" command. 
Yum writes out the following message: "error reading information on service qpidd: No such file or directory", then reports that the package was removed successfully. But exit code of yum is 1, not 0, and the package is still listed in the database as installed:
[root@lzhaldyb-rhel57i ~]# yum list qpid-cpp-server
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin
Installed Packages
qpid-cpp-server.i386     0.14-4.el5     installed

I was using RHEL5.7 (both i386 and x86_64).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qpid-cpp-server-0.14-4.el5

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install package qpid-cpp-server-0.14-4.el5 using yum or rpm tool.
2. Try to uninstall the package with command "yum erase qpid-cpp-server"
3.
  
Actual results:
The package remains listed in the database as "installed"

Expected results:
The package should be uninstalled properly from the system.
