Hi All,
I tried to 'ymu remove firefox' but received hereafter errors. Now 'yum list installed firefox' indicates wrongly that firefox is already installed. (please see hereafter output).
How to force refresh / rebuild yum database ? Other actions ? I tried 'yum clean all' but without results.
Thanks, Bruno

To remove all firefox installations that you have listed, rpm -e firefox --allmatches Should remove all packages and all entries from the rpm database.
For the record, yum clean all just clears the dep resolver files and the downloaded rpms from the /var/cache/yum/ subdirectories. If it does more, sorry for the misinformation.
