I have a x86_64 box that has two of the same rpm :
gtk2-2.12.1-5.fc8.i386.rpm
gtk2-2.12.1-5.fc8.x86_64.rpm
I have tried yum and rpm to remove the packages, but to no avail.
rpm -e gtk2
rpm -e gtk2-2.12.1.fc8
rpm -e gtk2-2.12.1.fc8.i386.rpm
rpm -e gtk2-2.12.1.fc8.x86_64.rpm
I just want to remove the RPM's
You don't say what happens when you try these commands. Do you get a
dependancy error, a permissions error, a "file not found error"? You
need to be specific. Note that removing gtk2 will only work if you also
remove a lot of other stuff which depends on it. Also, you need to be
root to install or remove packages.

If you will read the past post on everything a member has suggested i
try , I have posted the errors.
As far as the root thing is concerned , i fully understand how that works.
I want to say here guy that I'm not a Newbie, I do consider myself a
"intermediate" in Linux, but still a distance from a guru .
