Re: rpm / apt question

G'Day Charles,

Sorry for the late reply.  I am in Suzhou for work and been quite busy.

I will answer inline:

When you uninstall you need not use the full name:

try this:

rpm -qa |grep -i apt

That command will display all entries (query) in the RPM database (rpm
-qa) and filter out any response that contains the string 'apt' (grep -i
apt).  The -i means case insensitive.

Point is to uninstall you need to do this:

rpm -e apt-0.5.15cnc

Cheers,
Richard.
