#165 2.3 Beta 2 cannot uninstall

[Anonymous]

When I installed, I used the following:

rpm -Uvh --force javaHMO.2.3.i386.beta2.rpm

I added the --force because it failed to install due to
conflicts with JavaHMO2.0-0.2.0-2 which I had previously
installed. I guess I should have de-installed it first?

Now when I try to de-install 2.3 beta 2, I get this:

[root@gemini tmp]# rpm -e javaHMO-2-3
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.21454: line 3: fg: no job control

Use the --noscripts option when uninstalling. That will
keep the buggy %preun script from dying, which appears to be
caused by a typo in the %configure directive.

This work-around does work. Thanks.

[root@gemini root]# rpm -e --noscripts javaHMO-2-3

'rpm -e javaHMO' also fails in the 2.4 release.

The error reported is the same.
