Erroneous entry in database

From: Will Honea on 26 Jun 2008 01:42 Zypper and online update keep wanting to update Firefox after updating or installing with the old home. If I try to install it, the process fails trying to access a Firefox 2 component that no longer exists. This appears to be an artifact of installing Firefox 3 before the 11.0 GM came out. I've hit this a couple of times - how do I clean the appropriate database? -- Will Honea ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com **

"rpm -vv --rebuilddb" I now get the following error message: Removing MozillaFirefox-2.0.0.12-5.1 [error] Removal of (41327)MozillaFirefox-2.0.0.12-5.1.i586(@System) failed: Error: Subprocess failed.

Remove it and re-install it. It could be that some things were deleted that shouldn't have. houghi -- But I will accept the rules that you feel necessary to your freedom.
