Re: Can't uninstall rpm package. - Mailing list pgsql-admin

Hi,

I think you should try

yum erase postgresql93-server-9.3.6-1PGDG.rhel5

or if this is not working then you can go to the location of it and remove it manually.

check the location using 

which postgresql93-server-9.3.6-1PGDG.rhel5

you will get the location generally it is "/usr/bin/"

then remove it using rm.

Check it and tell me if the problem is still present.

How to solve this error?

Any help would be appreciated as I am totally novice to postgres and it is my first time, I am trying to do something on postgres.
