You have installed an RPM package file named evolution-2.6.0-41.i586.rpm on your Linux system. Which of the following commands should you use to uninstall this package?
  1. rpm -U evolution
  2. rpm -U -remove evolution
  3. rpm -e evolution
  4. rpm -i -remove evolution
Explanation
Answer - C - You should use the rpm -e evolution command to uninstall this RPM package.

Key Takeaway: The rpm -e command removes one or more packages from the system. RPM performs a series of steps whenever it erases a package. The steps include checking the RPM database to make sure that no other packages depend on the package being erased, executing a pre-uninstall script, checking if any of the package's config files have been modified, reviewing the RPM database to find every file listed as being part of the package, executing a post-uninstall script, and removing all traces of the package from the RPM database.
