Hello all,
I have been updating this system from FC2 to FC3 and now to FC4.
I've noticed that I have 2 versions of hal installed :
hal-0.4.6-1.FC3.i386 and hal-0.5.2-2.i386.
Clearly a no-good situation. I get stuck on upgrading my machine
because of that.
I've tried to remove it with both rpm and yum and got errors.
I've tried to rebuild the rpm database as well, but the problem still
the same.
How can I fix it?
Thanks,
C.F.
Here's what happens when I run rpm and yum:
rpm -e hal-0.4.6-1.FC3.i386
error: %postun(hal-0.4.6-1.FC3.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
for yum :

Complete!
To ensure that the scriplet is bad and it is not related to security
labeling of your system, try running 'setenforce 0' and try to remove
the package via yum or rpm. If there is no difference and the scriptlet
still fails, use the --noscripts and --justdb options to rpm on the
package that you are trying to remove.
To ensure the newer version of hal on your system is intact, you might
want to verify the package after the older version is removed.
I believe the error code is different than I encountered myself with a
security labeling problem in SELinux. It is harmless to try though first.
