Uninstalling real player (the "real" answer)

[Pallav Jain]

yes steven, this worked:

rpm -e --noscripts realplay

but not the earlier commands. --noscripts is neccessary, else it gave
unexpected errors.

Yeah, that is precisely what I got.  I installed RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm and
the
output in the terminal was as follows:
[root at localhost Downloads]# rpm -Uvh
/var/cache/yum/x86_64/13/fedora/packages/*.rpm RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm

postinst called with unknown argument `1'
warning: %post(realplay-11.0.2.1744-1.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 1

I then ran "rpm -qa | grep -i realplay" I got the following:
realplay-11.0.2.1744-1.i386

which lines up with the output from RPM.  So then I ran "rpm -e realplay"
The result was as follows:
[root at localhost Downloads]# rpm -e realplay
prerm called with unknown argument `0'
error: %preun(realplay-11.0.2.1744-1.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 1

So, I ran "rpm -e --noscripts realplay" and now realplay is off my system :)

Use rather:
rpm -qa |grep -i realplayer

The queation is :Is the name of the rpm RealPlayer11GOLD?
Maybe, first one needs to run:rpm -q :grep realplayer
or some othere possible rpm name for realplayer.

Then you can try the : rpm -e ...
Command.

On my box:

rpm -qa '*RealPlayer*'
RealPlayer-11.0.0.4028-20080225.i586

So: rpm -e RealPlayer

Never mind....

It should be

rpm -e realplay

I hate it when some folks name the rpm file different than the package
name.....
