You haven't got the syntax right. Try rpm -e j2sdk-1.4.2-beta , or even just rpm -e j2sdk . Yup, a common problem with rpm users is confusing a package file name (like *.rpm) with a package name. Only install/upgrade/freshen, or query/verify with a -p option, or the signature modes, take package file names as argument. The package name is used elsewhere. |
