uninstall java1.4.2.03 in redhat 9

[12345671]

I accidently remove the foder /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2/ from my redhat 9 box, so now when I use
rpm -e j2sdk-1.4.2.03-fcs, I cannot remove j2sdk1.4.2.03,
also I cannot reinstall
rpm -iv j2sdk-1_4_2_03-linux.rpm.

Any suggestion? how can I remove j2sdk-1.4.2.03-fcs and reinstall j2sdk-1_4_2_03-linux.rpm.

Another question: after install java1.2.2 on Redhat 9, where is the java plugin for mozilla? I didn't find something similar to libjavaplugin_oji.so.

You may use rpm with --force option to install again, then perhaps uninstall cleanly, and reinstall.

Search your plugin:

locate libjavaplugin

gave to me: /opt/j2sdk-1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/... (and 15 more

I used
rpm -iv --force j2sdk...rpm

to install, after I tried to use

rpm -e j2sdk..-fcd to uninstall,

but it takes ages, and cannot finish the task.

Strange. When I use rpm --rebiulddb, it says
" error, devive,, or busy "

What do to? I check system log of rpm package, found j2sdk...-fcs.i586.rpm

Well - I'm not using rpm intensively. (because of such issues)
If your rpm-library isn't too important for you, but the j2sdk is, you may extract the rpm.
I don't know the command, because I use the midnight commander for such work: Move the '.rpm' to /tmp.. Mark the '.rpm'. F2. Choose: extract package to current folder. Then move the extracted j2sdk-folder to the right place.

Since there isn't much setup - no entry in kde-menues, no j2sdkrc in /etc or /home/12345671, this will work.
