Re: Error installing

These symptoms are characteristic of a corrupt rpm database.  rpm
--rebuilddb (run as root) should fix the problem.

It then tells me it needs to uninstall a package which I believe was something like xxx-pim.... something.  But after it verifies all the files it downloaded, if reports that it was unable to uninstall the package and the error reported is that the package didn't exist or didn't appear to be installed.

Can I do this using the GnomeRPM program and uninstalling the package myself assuming it's there?  And, if it's not there, what then?  Can I edit a setup file or something to tell it to ignore that package?
