Hi Everyone,

I was trying to install and uninstall postgres 9.3. After performing a
variety of steps, I found that I have deleted something manually and now I
am not been able to proceed further.

What I am trying to achieve here is to remove all the traces of postgres .
I am not able to remove *postgresql93-server-9.3.6-1PGDG.rhel5* package.

I am getting the following error:

===============================================

[root(at)ZetaSearch01 ~]# rpm -qa | grep postg
postgresql93-server-9.3.6-1PGDG.rhel5
[root(at)ZetaSearch01 ~]# yum remove postgresql93-server-9.3.6-1PGDG.rhel5

How to solve this error?

Any help would be appreciated as I am totally novice to postgres and it is
my first time, I am trying to do something on postgres.

Warm Regards,
