Thanks Kai,

Actually, I DO want to uninstall ALL of them (rpm -e --nodeps modulename).  Do you know where I might find a list?  The ones that I had "onboard" I can reinstall via the RedHat 7.2 CD plus rpm updates (I've already prepared a temp directory to do exactly that).

Then I can start from scratch and install an older version of MailScanner.

I think that, considering the state of my server, this has the best chance of working.

Thanks for the tip about install.sh vs rpm install.  You are right I read the docs and followed directions.  My mistake.  Maybe I should just read the install.sh ???  Maybe it will give me a list.


TIA,
Meryll Larkin

Well, that's probably because you did not install "rpm -ivh 
MailScanner-4.43.8-1.rpm" but used install.sh (as recommended). That also 
installs the other Perl rpms coming with the tarball. If you want to go to 
the stage before installation you have to get rid of each of these Perl 
rpms as well. Problem is you don't know which of these you had already on 
board (so MS didn't install them again) and which were installed by MS. 
So, be careful about removing *all* of them.
