Subject: [Exim] Uninstalling exim
Hello,

I like the look of exim, but am having trouble installing it. Wanted to
try postfix to see if I could get that up and running, however I had
trouble uninstalling exim.

I figured that upgrading the version of exim might allow me to uninstall
it, but instead it gave me more problems:

# rpm -qa | grep exim
exim-3.30-2
exim-3.33-4
exim-3.33-4
exim-3.33-4
# rpm -e exim-3.30-2
Shutting down SMTP port (exim):/etc/rc.d/sendmail: killproc: command not
found

/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.97445: insserv: command not found
error: execution of %preun scriptlet from exim-3.30-2 failed, exit
status 127

rpm -e exim-3.33-4
error: "exim-3.33-4" specifies multiple packages


How should I remove exim? I'm running RH 7.2

Mike
