[rhn-users] RPM strangeness



Hi Guys,

I have a real problem with a Python installation on RedHat9. I
installed the rpms and everthing was fine, or so I thought. Here is
some output fromone of the packages:

 rpm -ivh python2.3-tools-2.3-5pydotorg.i386.rpm
warning: python2.3-tools-2.3-5pydotorg.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature:
NOKEY, key ID fd71b297
Preparing...              
########################################### [100%]
        package python2.3-tools-2.3-5pydotorg is already installed

rpm -e python2.3-tools-2.3-5pydotorg.i386.rpm
error: package python2.3-tools-2.3-5pydotorg.i386.rpm is not installed

I have installed all the packages, then I wanted to upgrade to the
newest version and then the pain started, using RPM -U said that all
the  tool packages were dependant on the older version, so I decided
to use the erase command on all the packages and then just install the
newer version. and that is when I am told that the package is not
installed, even though an install or query says that it is! I have
tried the freshen command which produces no errors, I try and
uninstall it and then  I get the 'it's not installed' error. I have
rebuilt the RPM database which completed without any errors either!

Has anyone come accross this before?

Thanks

Kevin
