How do I uninstall Erlang R16B-03.18.el7 so I can install Erlang 25.0.3?

Time:08-19

The R16B version isn't working with the latest version of RabbitMQ I'm trying to install on my VM (needs 23.3 or later) and I already tried to install 25.0.3 but it won't install because it's conflicting with the R16B files that exist.

file /usr/bin/typer from install of esl-erlang-25.0.3-1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package erlang-typer-R16B-03.18.el7.x86_64

That's the error I get. I tried rm -r erlang*.rpm and it asks for a reboot after completing but still gives the same errors.

CodePudding user response:

With this command you just delete the rpm. What you want is to deinstall the rpm. You could use

dnf uninstall PACKAGENAME

where, in your case, PACKAGENAME whould be something like erlang-typer-R16B-03.18.el7.
