My VirtualBox program has become corrupted, and I wish to remove it and start over again from scratch. At the moment, it won't start at all. I find that reinstalling over what is there is not permitted, because there is a locked file. How can I unlock this file? This is not the ose version of the program, I downloaded it from the VBox site. This is what happens when I try to uninsstall: # rpm -e VirtualBox* error: package VirtualBox-3.1-3.1.4_57640_openSUSE111-1.x86_64.rpm is not installed # On the other hand, here is what happens when I try to reinstall: # rpm -U VirtualBox* warning: VirtualBox-3.1-3.1.4_57640_openSUSE111-1.x86_64.rpm: Header V4 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 6dfbcbae package VirtualBox-3.1-3.1.4_57640_openSUSE111-1.x86_64 is already installed # When I try to reinstall from the user prompt, the response is: rpm -U VirtualBox* warning: VirtualBox-3.1-3.1.4_57640_openSUSE111-1.x86_64.rpm: Header V4 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 6dfbcbae error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/__db.000 How can I remove VirtualBox from the system completely, so that I can install a clean program? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
