Problem with rpm package

I have successfully installed pcns-2.2.1-100.i386.rpm on two ESX 3.5 servers.

However, a third ESX 3.5 server will not let me either install or uninstall pcns-2.2.1-100.i386.rpm

Details below. Any thoughts how to clean this up? Thanks.

I found it. Sometimes it just helps to write it out Smiley Happy

I typed "rpm -e pcns" and it did uninstall. Now I have successfully installed it.

Thanks.
