Try it without the ".rpm" - i.e. "rpm -e --nodeps
gtk2-2.12.1.fc8.1386" and "rpm -e --nodeps gtk2-2.12.1.fc8.x86_64".
You can't use '--nodeps' in deleteing a rpm, only to install.
Nope. You can do that. It does work. I just used it last night to fix a
problem.
rpm -e --nodeps --allmatches gtk2
Well at this point I agree with you, but it's not in the man pages.
I ran the above command and it didn't crash my box.
I want to think all of you for your help.
Somebody has got to update the "man pages"
