M_R Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 (edited) Hi everybody. I need your help: I normally overwrite programs instead of removing the old version first and then installing the latest one again. I do this with VirtualBox's RPM and I've never had problems. But it's a litle different with Adobe Reader: I have noticed that the latest version did not delete the previous one, instead it installed itself in its own directory and left Adobe Reader 8 alone. The problem is that Adobe Reader 8 now has - (an orange minus symbol) icon in MCC and I can't remove it. Any ideas?

M_R Posted November 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 YES! That was it. I had to use urpme <NAME_OF_THE_PROGRAM> to uninstall it since RPMdrake can't do it. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
