rpm installed and not installed

Hi All,

I am having a problem with VMware of fedora 11 64.

I had vmware installed and when I tried to upgrade something broke I now get the following

yum list | grep VMware
VMware-Workstation.x86_64 6.5.2-156735 installed
VMware-Workstation.x86_64 6.5.3-185404 installed

yum remove VMware*
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Setting up Remove Process
No Match for argument: VMware-Workstation-6.5.2-156735.x86_64.rpm
No Match for argument: VMware-Workstation-6.5.3-185404.x86_64.rpm
No Packages marked for removal

I have tried yum clean all and rpm --rebuilddb but keep getting the same problem.


rpm -e VMware*
error: package VMware-Workstation-6.5.2-156735.x86_64.rpm is not installed
error: package VMware-Workstation-6.5.3-185404.x86_64.rpm is not installed

rpm -qa | grep VMware
VMware-Workstation-6.5.3-185404.x86_64
VMware-Workstation-6.5.2-156735.x86_64


any ideas how to fix this problem?

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestions

rpm -e --test VMware-Workstation
error: "VMware-Workstation" specifies multiple packages:
VMware-Workstation-6.5.3-185404.x86_64
VMware-Workstation-6.5.2-156735.x86_64

rpm -e --test VMware-Workstation-6.5.2-156735.x86_64.rpm
error: package VMware-Workstation-6.5.2-156735.x86_64.rpm is not installed


su
rpm -e VMware-Workstation-6.5.2-156735.x86_64 VMware-Workstation-6.5.3-185404.x86_64

looks like that fixed it

Thanks for the help

Andrew
