Uninstall an RPM problem

[mblanco2000 0]

I am trying to uninstall an RPM that I know is installed on RH9. So I do the following to verify the name:

 

[root@localhost Skin]# rpm -qa | grep ^mplayer

mplayer-skins-1.3-2.fr

 

Then I try to uninstall it with the folowing and it tells me that the package is not installed but it seems to me that it actually is.

 

[root@localhost Skin]# rpm -e --allmatches mplayer-skins*

error: package mplayer-skins* is not installed

 

Could someone help me out with this.

Try dropping the * at the end of the name (ie rpm -e mplayer-skins), RPM *should* be able to match it without any help.
