I was trying to install the downloaded package
flash-plugin-7.0.61-1.i386.rpm on a remote machine after having
successfully installed it locally. At one point this rpm installation
opens a second window containing the flash license agreement. I'd
forgotten to include the -Y parameter in the ssh command initiating the
session -- which is probably why "rpm -ivh
flash-plugin-7.0.61-1.i386.rpm" hung up. Then I may have made matters
worse by cancelling the command.
In any case, the flash plugin doesn't work even though the system says
it's installed. Then I get these results when I try to delete or
re-install the package (in any order):
[104] /home/magnusg $ rpm -ivh flash-plugin-7.0.61-1.i386.rpm
warning: flash-plugin-7.0.61-1.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY,
key ID 8df56d05
Preparing... ################################# [100%]
package flash-plugin-7.0.61-1 is already installed
[105] /home/magnusg $ rpm -e flash-plugin-7.0.61-1.i386.rpm
error: package flash-plugin-7.0.61-1.i386.rpm is not installed
Is there some way to clean up the damage and start over?
Thanks for the help!
Jerry
