Where is it not in the man pages? QUOTE: ERASE OPTIONS The general form of an rpm erase command is rpm {-e|--erase} [--allmatches] [--nodeps] [--noscripts] [--notriggers] [--repackage] [--test] PACKAGE_NAME ... The following options may also be used: --allmatches Remove all versions of the package which match PACKAGE_NAME. Normally an error is issued if PACKAGE_NAME matches multiple packages. --nodeps Don’t check dependencies before uninstalling the packages. END OF QUOTE That seems to cover it, and the options in question are even the first two to be described. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
