[cobalt-users] SolarSpeed Sendmail uninstall problem.

["Michael Aronoff" <ma@xxxxxxxx>]

I was doing updates to me server today and I decided to install the
Cobalt sendmail packages since they have released patches for both
exploits finally.

I went to uninstall the Solarspeed sendmail patch
(RaQ4-All-Security-2.0.1-15959.pkg) and got the following:

[root uninstallers]# ./RaQ4-Solarspeed.net-Sendmail-8.10.2-C1sol2.uninst
Reinstalling the original Sendmail RPM from the Sun Cobalt FTP server:
Retrieving
ftp://ftp.cobalt.com/pub/products/raq4/RPMS/sendmail-8.10.2-C1.i386.rpm
package sendmail-8.10.2-C1sol2 (which is newer than sendmail-8.10.2-C1)
is already installed
        PLEASE NOTE: Reinstall Sun Cobalt patch 16402!

Then when I go to install 16402 it errors out.  It appears that the
original cobalt RPM will not install over the Solarspeed updated RPM.
Michael, is there a way to fix this? Has anyone else dealt with this?

I appreciate Michael's great packages and I guess I could just stick
with it but I figured it was safer to go back to Cobalt's once they
released their patch.

Thanks,
