Trouble Removing Virtual Box from Fedora 13
Hi guys,
I'm having trouble uninstalling VirtualBox-3.2 from a Fedora 13 server.
When I try to uninstall, I receive the following output:
[root@VM2 BPIT]# yum remove VirtualBox
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
Setting up Remove Process
No Match for argument: VirtualBox
No Packages marked for removal
[root@gw2 bpham]# yum remove VirtualBox-3.2

Error in PREUN scriptlet in rpm package VirtualBox-3.2
VirtualBox-3.2-3.2.4_62467_fedora13-1.x86_64 was supposed to be removed but is not!
Removed: VirtualBox-3.2.x86_64 0:3.2.4_62467_fedora13-1
Complete! [root@VM2 BPIT]#
Unfortunately since I cant uninstall, I cant upgrade to VBox 4. Any pointers? I've also tried rpm -e VirtualBox
and received the following:
[root@VM2 BPIT]# rpm -e VirtualBox-3.2 A copy of VirtualBox is currently running. Please close it and try again. Please note that it can take up to ten seconds for VirtualBox (in particular the VBoxSVC daemon) to finish running. error: %preun(VirtualBox-3.2-3.2.4_62467_fedora13-1.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Just to note, no VMs are currently running.
Dude, skytux you are the man! This has been giving me such a headache! I can't believe it was that simple! Thanks for your help!
Glad it helped. Good luck! :)
