Assalam Alikum,

How may I remove the OpenOffice.org package? I have used su

  1. rpm -qa | grep openoffice

I have found three (3) packages,

and then I used

  1. rpm -e --nodeps openoffice.org-xxx

to remove the three packages. I can't find any OpenOffice.org related files now! Was what I did correct?

Thank you for the answer! It was my fault mot to mention the package I use. It is called "scientificlinux" and it is basically, XXEL but LEGALLY precompiled and distributed. Now, my question again, was what I did right?

Thank you for ur time,

using --nodeps can't be right, and manually resolving dependencies has been out of date since the stone ages, but I've no idea whats the proper tool to use on scientifixlinux

cheers, Alaa
