The original recipe has "rpm -e --nodeps" - i'll probably need to change that.

If you have a package resource with a remove action nothing will

Hi

Forgive me if this is a newbie question, but is there a good way to check if

a package (rpm) is installed before i remove it? I tried to search the

archives but couldn't dig anything useful so far.

Thanks in advance,

Greg
