I want to uninstall the default version of firefox, however there appears to be 2 of the same rpm's installed and its complaining.. I've been in Solaris land for the last 5 years and my rpm skills aren't the most current; how is this achieved? [root at canthus ~]# rpm -q -a firefox firefox-3.0.10-1.el5.centos firefox-3.0.10-1.el5.centos [root at canthus ~]# rpm -e firefox-3.0.10-1.el5.centos error: "firefox-3.0.10-1.el5.centos" specifies multiple packages Thanks in advance, rhugga -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
