Hey everyone. When i run this command to uninstall the rpm for mysql 4:
rpm -e --nodeps MySQL-server-4.0.12-0

I get this error.

error reading information on service mysql: No such file or directory
error: execution of %preun scriptlet from MySQL-server-4.0.12-0 failed, exit status 1


This is pretty critical right now so. I need this rpm uninstalled. Can anyone help?

I have to keep doing this all the time when cpanel updates itself b/c the stupid peace of **** script over writes the mysql 4 with the old rpms....

rpm -e MySQL-server

-or-

rpm -e --nodeps MySQL-server

if there a dependancy errors, is all you should have to type.
