About this task

The following example shows the uninstallation of GSKit packages from an AMD64 Opteron/EM64T Linux system. For z Systems®, System i® or System p®, or System Linux on System x, you must substitute with the appropriate package names.

Procedure

  1. Log in as the root user.
  2. Access the command prompt.
  3. Run the following command to determine the GSKit packages that you want to remove:
    rpm -qa | grep -i gsk
  4. To remove a GSKit package, run the following command:
    rpm -ev package_name
    To remove GSKit completely, remove all the GSKit packages of the same version. For uninstallation of GSKit, you must first remove the GSKit SSL package and then the GSKit crypt package.
    To remove the gskssl64-8.0-55.31.x86_64 and gskcrypt64-8.0-55.31.x86_64 packages, run the following command:
    rpm -ev gskssl64-8.0-55.31.x86_64
    rpm -ev gskcrypt64-8.0-5.31.x86_64
  5. Verify whether the GSKit uninstallation is successful.
    rpm -qa | grep -i gsk
