I was receiving email log notices that there was
a problem with removing fmt-ptrn-java-1.3.17-1.fc9.i386,
so I attempted to remove it:
# yum remove fmt-ptrn-java-1.3.17-1.fc9.i386
Loaded plugins: aliases, fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit

Geez, one might think yum actually removed it, but in this case, it lied.
Trying to pull the ol'e sliparoo on me, ehh? I tried running yum remove
as above again and the same exact removal messages appears again and
again - so, it is NOT removed! So, I tried another way:
# apt-get --fix-broken install

W: Some errors occurred while running transaction
Ah! Well at least it is telling me there is a problem in attempting
to remove this package... Well apt-get cannot remove this package
so, I tried using rpm directly:
# rpm -e fmt-ptrn-java-1.3.17-1.fc9.i386
/sbin/ldconfig: relative path `1' used to build cache
error: %postun(fmt-ptrn-java-1.3.17-1.fc9.i386) scriptlet failed, exit
status 1
Three strikes, and I am out!
So, how can I get rid of this package?
Thanks!
Dan
