uninstalling repo installed via rpm

[mudmanc4]

Iv'e grabbed a repo by (wget) unpacked it and installed it, but it's not in etc/yum.repos.d , terminal claims it's there and installed , using vi the file is " new file " and empty. So I opened up in ftp , low and behold nothing.

Ok , something borked somewhere and was installed somewhere else , I had assumed it was ( for some reason ) appended to yum.conf , nope

So whatever right, uninstall the rpm via rpm manager right ?

rpm -qf /etc/yum.repos.d/RepoName.repo

Nope, it's not there so it cannot uninstall it. Where else should I look for this fraking thing lol

I'm screwed to get the thing because i was installing soap , so i had to recompile sql , at that point things went south , so I'm in a crap hole lol

[mudmanc4]

I was able to fix this by

rpm -e *package name* 

And then reinstalled the repo(s) properly

well this thread was popular

[mudmanc4]

Yea , it lasted a whole 20 minutes ? lol

If I had taken 5 more minutes looking through the rpm commands in front of me, the thread would not be in existence, maybe it'll help someone sometime.

Hey no worries , I still do not know where the hell it was lol

And after installing the repo I needed to get soap installed, I made the mistake of running yum update Screwed several things all to hell. Now sql is been uninstalled , but many dependancies are still ghosting , so it cannot be installed again , not even a newer version , as it keep complaining about old turds laying around

Looks like a long weekend will be wasted on fun stuff dammit lol Just gonna upgrade / update the entire server.

At times it feels like black death , but then again , makes me drive harder to learn what I want to learn to force something to do what I need it to do.

I understand Bro , I just work on a lower level , it takes me a day to reload Win with all the extras, and get the puter settled , ( I got an upgrade from win 95 to Me coming up for a "friend " that is still on 56K dial up,I do live a retro life at times ,

but give me a hemihead injected engine to sort ,and I am like a pig in sh*t,

indeed each to their own, but nothing wrong in widening the mind ,

and the reason I post mainly in off topic.

BB is totally different in the UK , with only 1 ADSL provider ,

all the other ISP's rent the line , apart from Virgin fibre ,

(limited availability ) and no sat worth looking at ,unless you are a

Welsh sheep Hill farmer, ( look at the ass on that Ewe )
