Re: Can't uninstall rpm package.

Hi,
I think you should try
yum erase postgresql93-server-9.3.6-1PGDG.rhel5

or if this is not working then you can go to the location of it and remove
it manually.
check the location using
which postgresql93-server-9.3.6-1PGDG.rhel5
you will get the location generally it is "/usr/bin/"
then remove it using rm.
Check it and tell me if the problem is still present.
