Uninstall / remove RPM
Solution 1
Since you are using CentOS, you may have yum from my knowledge.
I would try the following:
$ su -c 'yum remove packageNameHere'
Solution 2
For CentOS I find it best to use Yum - which, by default, should install the correct version from the CentOS repositories.
If you installed the wrong version using rpm
I would also use the rpm
command to uninstall it if possible (then try using Yum to install the correct version - if available in centOS repositories).
Solution 3
Look at:
rpm -e --nodeps
or
rpm --force -e
Solution 4
To upgrade the existing package you could try:
rpm -U

I've installed CentOS 5 on an old IBM ThinkPad. Everything went fine until I had to make the wireless network connection work.
After searching Google I realise that I need to install RPM. Unfortunately I downloaded and installed the RPM for CentOS 3 - now when I try to reinstall the correct package for version 5, it says:
File xxx from install of rpmv5 conflicts with the file from package rpmv3
How can I rollback the RPM v3 installation? I've tried
rpm -e
without any success.The RPMs can be found at: http://rpmforge.sw.be/redhat/
