FC4 rpm not working properly

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I've recently upgraded from FC3 to FC4 via yum.
Everything worked fine until I decided to install a
couple of extra packages. NTFS support was one of
them.
I downloaded the correct rpm and ran 

rpm -ivh
kernel-module-ntfs-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4-2.1.22-0.rr.7.4.rpm

And I got the following error...

error:
%pre(kernel-module-ntfs-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4-2.1.22-0.rr.7.4.i686)
scriptlet failed, exit status 255
error:   install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping
kernel-module-ntfs-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4-2.1.22-0.rr.7.4

After a couple of posts I got a solution to this by
using the --noscripts option with rpm. 

The problem is that rpm is not working properly when
installing or uninstalling packages. It doesn't matter
if I use yum or not. When, for example I tried to
uninstall amule I got:

[root@ajenjo ~]# rpm -q amule
amule-2.0.1-1.2.fc4
[root@ajenjo ~]# yum remove amule

Removed: amule.i386 0:2.0.1-1.2.fc4
Complete!
[root@ajenjo ~]# rpm -q amule
amule-2.0.1-1.2.fc4




As you can see, amule did not get removed... Has
anybody else seen this type of thing? Has anybody else
gotten this problem? Is this a bug in rpm, should I
report it?

In any case, I'd really appreciate some help. I'm
using  FC4 with kernel-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4 on an i686.
I'm also using:
rpm-4.4.1-22
yum-2.3.2-7

THANKS AGAIN!!!
