Hello,
I get an error when trying to install a package in openSuse 11 via rpm application. Inspite of what the error message says, it was the first time the new package was installed.
In summary, when I first installed the package, it gave me an error indicating that it was already installed in addition to some permission problem with gvfs.
when i do a package query, the new package was installed. But when i try to uninstall it, i am told that it is not installed. But clearly a query of the packages indicate so. Now I have a package that I can’t get rid of.
I’ve did some research and found that that others have experienced this gvfs permission problem as well. I don’t know if this is a issue and whether it has been solved.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Below is the following sequence of commands on the console:
rpm -Uvh flash-plugin-10.0.12.36-release.i386.rpm
error: failed to stat /home/wt/.gvfs: Permission denied

When you install manually an rpm package using rpm -i
You will notice that when you open yast2 software management that app installed using the above is locked. It is my observation in the past when I install a package outside yast.
I am not in suse now and in xp so can’t remember exactly the location. You will see it aligned with the rpm package you installed under yast-software management. You can right click the rpm to see your options, like upgrade, keep, taboo, etc.
