Strange things sometimes happen, one of them is a corrupt rpm database. This means that the computer tells you something is installed and it really is not.
Here is how to solve this problem.
First backup and then delete by doing the following command:
$ su
# rm /var/lib/rpm/__db.001
# cp /var/lib/rpm/__db.002 /home/nikesh
# rm /var/lib/rpm/ __db.002
# rpm –rebuilddb

Some of the blogs today are not very informative and that is why site visitors will not read the full post. But yours was different. I'd like to thank my friend also for referring your blog to me. Hope to see more of this. Keep it up
Thank's.
I had to remove /var/lib/rpm/Packages too, then it worked.
