This will never work; since there is no package with the same name as the RPM. As others have posted, the correct command to remove VirtualBox is
rpm -e VirtualBox-3.1
That produced the reponse: # rpm -e VirtualBox-3.1 insserv: script lpd: service cupsd already provided! insserv: script portmap: service portmap already provided!
That is correct, no error. At least, not in the uninstall. The uninstall process is first stopping and removing the startup scripts, and hinting at some unrelated problem or warning.
running the same command again got: # rpm -e VirtualBox-3.1 error: package VirtualBox-3.1 is not installed
Correct, as it suceeded the first time.
Normally, this error message means that the command is not run as root. Since you quote your prompt as '#', I assume you are root.
I was root at the time I ran it. But as you see, I ran the command both ways.
As you didn't get an error this time, my guess is that it was a temporary problem that time. Not now. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
