Erase multiple packages using rpm or yum

Question

I was given access to a server with 50+ php rpms installed. I\'m trying to remove them all.

Basically, I\'m trying to combine these two commands:

rpm -qa         


        

Answer 1

I had this today. Using --justdb and --noscripts rpm parameters wasn't sufficient without the --allmatches, and that's it.

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -ev --allmatches --justdb
