    Exclamation [SOLVED] Need help with an RPM issue

    I had installed an rpm package but made an error. So in my course of frenzy I accidently manually removed the package folder in /usr/local/<packagedir>

    I then have tried to re-install but it says it already exists. I tried running the sudo rpm -e <package> but no go cause it says doesn't exist lol

    Please help! I am really stuck on this and need to get this package re-installed.

    This is on Linux by the way.

    hi,

    hmm, is that a self-built package?

    Try rpm -i --replacepkgs <your-RPM>
