I've got a frustrating little problem. I'm trying to update my system and one package (avahi-autoipd) can't install because of conflicting packages from avahi-0.6.17-1.i386.fc7.
However, I"ve got the F9 version installed, so that's not a problem. What /is/ a problem is that I cannot remove that package. rpm -e bombs with this:
[markh@sulla ~]$ sudo rpm -e avahi-0.6.17-1.fc7.i386 error: %postun(avahi-0.6.17-1.fc7.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
And yum remove /says/ it's removed, but it's not:
Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction Erasing : avahi [1/1]
Removed: avahi.i386 0:0.6.17-1.fc7 Complete! [markh@sulla ~]$ sudo rpm -qa | grep avahi kdnssd-avahi-devel-0.1.3-0.6.20080116svn.fc9.i386 avahi-glib-0.6.22-10.fc9.i386 avahi-devel-0.6.22-10.fc9.i386 avahi-0.6.22-10.fc9.i386 avahi-qt3-0.6.22-10.fc9.i386 avahi-compat-libdns_sd-0.6.22-10.fc9.i386 kdnssd-avahi-0.1.3-0.6.20080116svn.fc9.i386 avahi-0.6.17-1.fc7.i386
So, I can't update that package because of this. I could probably remove avahi altogether to see if that fixes this, but if I do it removes GNOME almost completely. What can I do to get this package gone without major surgery to my system?

Try rpm -e --noscript avahi-0.6.17-1.fc7.i386 then rpm -V avahi to make sure the remaining avahi is still good, this has worked for me in the past with stubborn rpms.

I'm not sure if this is the advisable method, but it will solve your problem:
rpm -e --nopostun avahi-0.6.17-1.fc7.i386
