I installed the patch "Animated matrix theme" from Markyboy on SF 2.0.5, it fails to apply with patchmanager. So I wanted to remove the patch from my device, but that fails too (grave error: subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.kMsrGz: line 2: // is a directory) So there seems to be a problem with the remove-Script. How can I force the removal of that package? --force is not allowed to be used while removing packages. Many thanks
