Hi there. Who supplied the MySql package you are using, BTW?
On RHEL3 you can do this:
rpm -qa MySQL\*
to do a 'globb' search for packages that begin with MySQL, instead of
the grep.
I assume that you did a typo' and meant to show that you are doing 'rpm
-e'
The failure you see is due to a script that is being run by the rpm
erase command failing, in the %preun section of the RPM's spec file.
I suggest that you investigate what the preun scripts are that are being
run. You can view them using :
rpm -q --scripts MySQL-server-standard
It may give you a clue as to why it is failing. If you find that the
preun script is not particularly important, you can do the erase with an
option --nopreun ie:
rpm -e --nopreun MySQL-server-standard
This does the RPM package erase without running the preun scriptlet.
More information is in the manual page of RPM :
man rpm
Cheers,
Michael
