You cannot remove the package ndiswrapper until you get rid of another package that depends on it. The fine point that the OP has missed and several of the replies is that the name of the dependent package is not simply kernel-module-ndiswrapper, but rather "kernel-module-ndiswrapper-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4".... While is looks like it is part of the version, the version in this case is simply: "1.2-0.lvn.3.4". One of the earlier replies to the OP told him to do an: rpm -qa "*ndiswrapper*" which his reply claimed that there was only the one package "ndiswrapper", which implies that he did not properly type in the command, so to try again: # rpm -qa | grep ndiswrapper which looks like it will produce: ndiswrapper-1.2-0.lvn.3.4 kernel-module-ndiswrapper-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4-1.2-0.lvn.3.4 Then taking both lines, we will combine them on the one line and execute the following all on a single line: rpm -e ndiswrapper-1.2-0.lvn.3.4 kernel-module-ndiswrapper-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4-1.2-0.lvn.3.4 Make sure that is a single line since the email program will probably wrap it. That should eliminate both packages for you.... HTH, --Rob
