If I run \'rpm -e some-packge\' it succeeds (no warnings or error messages), modifies the db accoedingly, but the files are left in the filesystem. Then there is now way to find the package\'s files, unless there is the binary package file and you reinstall it. --- # mount /usr -o remount,rw # apt-get install emacs-el ....

Assume that it have just deleted some files and some cannot be deleted. If it shows up with error message without db modification, it is nothing better than current RPM behaviour. First, you\'ve got broken RPM package. Second, RPM will never succeed again, because it won\'t be able to \"remove the files actually\" -- the files that\'s been already deleted. 7846 2 at 2003-02-04 15:20:35 +0300 Hmm... but what should rpm do?

Now, if RPM doesn\'t modify the db, then the situation is similar to that when the admin has removed some files manually by calling `rm\'. In this case, `rpm -V\' helps. Such situation can be well understood by the admin. At least, some error mesasages would be useful. The silence of the current RPM is not good. Second. Finally removing a broken packge can be force by some options like: --force, --dbonly etc. The worst bad thing I see in the described behaviour is loosing information about the package contents. 7847 4 vanyaz 2003-02-12 22:50:18 +0300 OK, I assume this.
