CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-004) — Question 261

A Linux administrator has downloaded the network-tools-12.1-17.i386.rpm package for installation to a local system. The administrator issues the rpm - ivh nerwork-cools-12.1-17.i386.rpm command to install the package. After attempting to use the newly installed package, the administrator realizes the package for the system's architecture was not installed correctly.
Which of the following commands should the administrator use to remove the package from the system?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct command to remove the package is 'rpm -e network-tools', which is specifically designed for uninstalling RPM packages. The other options either attempt to upgrade or reinstall the package instead of removing it, or contain incorrect package names or architecture specifications which would not succeed.
