When a previous installation of Replication Server is overwritten or used—if the installation directory is created as a subdirectory of /opt, for example, /opt/sybase—you must remove entries from the RedHat Package Manager (RPM) database. If you want to continue to use the earlier version of Replication Server, do not remove entries from the RPM database.
You must have “root” permission to
remove RPM entries.
To remove RPM entries, enter:
# rpm -qa | grep sybase
You should get a result set similar to:
sybase-thai-12.5.0.3-3 sybase-polish-12.5.0.3-3 sybase-german-12.5.0.3-3 sybase-esql-12.5.0.3-3 sybase-ase-12.5.0.3-3 sybase-doc-12.5.0.3-3 sybase-openserver-12.5.0.3-3 sybase-common-12.5.0.3-3 sybase-japanese-12.5.0.3-3 sybase-chinese-12.5.0.3-3 sybase-openclient-12.5.0.3-3 sybase-spanish-12.5.0.3-3 sybase-korean-12.5.0.3-3 sybase-french-12.5.0.3-3
To erase these entries, enter:
# rpm -e 'rpm -qa | grep sybase'
To erase individual packages, enter:
# rpm -e sybase-rep
You can no longer use previously installed help scripts
for post-installation operations.
