Do
rpm -evv --allmatches kernel-X-Y
where X == the version, and Y == the release, you want to remove.
If still hanging, do
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*
first.
Thanks. Worked great. BTW, do you just put the vv in there as vengence against those who fail to RTFM? ;-) |

I did Ctrl-C and tried again. Same result. Now, I have two entries for it in the RPM database (and so can't remove it - rpm complains that the name specifies multiple packages). Now what? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.fail an RPM install 2.try again 3.try to remove the RPM Additional info:
