Thread: rpm -e

Hi,

I get the following when I try and rpm -evv postgresql

D: opening database mode 0x82 in file://var/lib/rpm/
+ [ 0 = 0 ]
+ chkconfig --del postgresql
error reading information on service postgresql: No such file or directory
execution of script failed

Any ideas?  I have just sucessfully rpm -e on postgresql-server,
postgresql-devel, postgresql-jdbc

Red Hat Linux release 6.0 (Hedwig)
Kernel 2.2.5-15 on an i586

postgresql-6.5.1-2

Do 'rpm -e --noscripts' -- the spec file must have a problem with the
postun script -- the chkconfig --del should only be on the -server
package.

Check also for stale symlinks in the /etc/rc.d/rc[123456].d dirs
pointing to /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql -- if there are stale symlinks,
rm them.
