In fact, all i can find is RPM. However, there is an RPM directory in my distfiles directory that is *full* of rpms. I want to remove every vestige of wordperfect, but i don't want to leave any renegade rpms. Obviously i can delete the files in the dist dir, but they still might have been installed somewhere. I ran RPM -qa to query all packages, and it tells me: failed to open //var/lib/rpm/packages.rpm rpmQuery: rpmdbOpen() failed So, i need to find a way to remove anything RPM might have installed, but RPM won't tell me what *has* been installed. Any idea how to do this? Also, there is a WP directory in my home dir that i can delete, but obviously this is a last resort. I would like to do this the 'right' way. Frankly, i've *had* it with RPMs... i never appreciated pkg_info as much as i do now....
