Unable to remove openssh

[scottralf]

Hi,

I was trying to uninstall openssh-server with command

yum erase openssh-server-4.3p2-82.el5

There is a power failure before yum fully erasing the package. I tried to perform the task again after that but I'm getting this error

"error reading information on service sshd: No such file or directory
Error in PREUN scriptlet in rpm package o"

when I try to service sshd status it shows "sshd : unrecognized service"

I do try to yum install openssh again but it says package already installed.

Wonder is there any way to fixed this?

Thank you.
