Обсуждение: Error Uninstalling 7.2.2 on Mandrake 9.0
Hello I am running into an error while attempting to uninstall 7.2.2 from my machine. The reason I am uninstalling is because I want to use the latest 7.3 version. Anyhow Im issuing the 'rpm -e postgresql' command to attempt to uninstall. This is what I see: [root@localhost data]# rpm -e postgresql error: removing these packages would break dependencies: postgresql = 7.2.2-1mdk is needed by libecpg3-7.2.2-1mdk postgresql = 7.2.2-1mdk is needed by libpgsqlodbc0-7.2.2-1mdk postgresql = 7.2.2-1mdk is needed by libpgperl-7.2.2-1mdk postgresql = 7.2.2-1mdk is needed by postgresql-devel-7.2.2-1mdk postgresql = 7.2.2-1mdk is needed by postgresql-python-7.2.2-1mdk postgresql = 7.2.2-1mdk is needed by postgresql-server-7.2.2-1mdk postgresql >= 7.1.3 is needed by php-pgsql-4.2.3-1mdk ********************************************************** I made sure the postmaster wasnt up and running. Is there a solution to this error? Thanks Israel _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

Hi, This is rpm complaining that other packages depend on postgresql 7.2.2-1mdk Easiest solution is to remove all of those other packages: [root@localhost data]# rpm -e libecpg3 [root@localhost data]# rpm -e libpgsqlodbc0 etc... If you then install 7.3, it should be ok. you might need to reinstall php-pgsql afterwards using something like [root@localhost data]# rpm -ivh --nodeps php-pgsql-4.2.3-1mdk.rpm Hope this helps Joe On Sun, 2003-05-04 at 05:20, Israel Calderon wrote: > > > > > Hello > > I am running into an error while attempting to uninstall 7.2.2 from my > machine.

Is there a solution to this > error? These are dependencies. It is not an error. The package can't be deinstalled because other packages rely on it. You have to remove the listed packages too. Otherwise dont remove 7.2, instead 'upgrade' to 7.3 I think it was -U, but I'm not sure because I switched from Mandrake to Debian a while ago. cu -- e-Trolley Sayegh & John, Nabil Sayegh Tel.: 0700 etrolley /// 0700 38765539 Fax.: +49 69 8299381-8 PGP : www.e-trolley.de
