I'm getting an error while running an uninstall script that gets rid of all MQ packages installed on my system.
When it gets to this step in the script:
rpm -e MQSeriesRuntime-U806667-6.0.2-0
I get this error:
ERROR: This maintenance package, "MQSeriesRuntime", is not the most
recent maintenance package applied on this system.
Please remove the later maintenance package(s) associated with the
component "MQSeriesRuntime", before removing this one.
Aborting install
I'm pretty positive MQSeriesRuntime-U806667-6.0.2-0 is the latest maintenance package on the system. When I "rpm -qa|grep "^MQSeries"" I get this:
rpm -qa|grep "^MQSeries"
MQSeriesRuntime-6.0.1-0
MQSeriesRuntime-U806667-6.0.2-0
Everything is gone, but these 2 packages.
So, these are the only 2 left on my system, but it's telling me there's another one. Where???!!!

Maybe you applied a 6-0-2-0 rpm for, say, the SDK after you applied the Runtime rpm...
Also, you can't possibly only have the MQSeriesRuntime RPM installed. Surely you have at least the Server or Client package as well.

I was running an uninstall script that gets rid of everything. It successfully did get rid of everything BUT these 2 runtime packages. It refuses to uninstall these 2 packages because of the problem outlined in the 1st post. 
If i rpm -qa|grep "^MQSeries", only those 2 packages show up, with no other packages installed. |

Well, maybe one of the other uninstalls didn't complete successfully...
Or the rpm database hasn't refreshed entirely yet...

These are some of the message I get when trying to re-run the script:
error: package gsk7bas-7.0-3.30 is not installed
error: package gsk7bas64-7.0-3.18 is not installed
error: package gsk7bas-7.0-3.18 is not installed
error: package gsk7bas-7.0-3.15 is not installed
.
.
.
.
So it seems like the other packages were initially uninstalled ok.
How would I refresh the rpm database?
Thanks so much! |

Try adding the --nodeps flag to the rpm command.

For ha-has, have you tried uninstalling the 6.0.2.1 version of that package (even though it doesn't appear to be there), just to see what would happen?

I can't tell now how you got into this situattion but this should clear it up:
rpm -e --nodeps --noscripts MQSeriesRuntime-U806667-6.0.2-0
rpm -e MQSeriesRuntime ( if this has problems then add --noscripts)
Check that the packages have indeed been removed:
rpm -qa | grep MQSeries
There may be files left in /opt/mqm, so:
rm -rf /opt/mqm/*
Check for symlinks in /usr/bin and /usr/lib that point to (now nonexisting) files in /opt/mqm and remove them.
