yes steven, this worked: rpm -e --noscripts realplay
but not the earlier commands. --noscripts is neccessary, else it gave unexpected errors. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Steven P.

I installed RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm and the output in the terminal was as follows: [r...@localhost Downloads]# rpm -Uvh /var/cache/yum/x86_64/13/fedora/packages/*.rpm RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:libXv ########################################### [ 33%] 2:alsa-lib ########################################### [ 67%] 3:realplay ########################################### [100%] postinst called with unknown argument `1' warning: %post(realplay-11.0.2.1744-1.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 I then ran "rpm -qa | grep -i realplay" I got the following: realplay-11.0.2.1744-1.i386 which lines up with the output from RPM. So then I ran "rpm -e realplay" The result was as follows: [r...@localhost Downloads]# rpm -e realplay prerm called with unknown argument `0' error: %preun(realplay-11.0.2.1744-1.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 So, I ran "rpm -e --noscripts realplay" and now realplay is off my system :) Steven P.
