Wow, thanks to all that replied. My first time here and it was great.

[ORIGINAL QUESTION]
Hi - trying to run an install update on an Alphaserver 2000 to go from 4.0b to 4.0e. Am not getting very far because I need to remove Multimedia Services from the machine. No problem, except that I HAVE removed them already using setld -d. Doing a setld -i shows them in the master list, but there is no "installed" next to any of them. The machine still thinks that they are installed and need to be removed before I can proceed.

I rebuilt the kernel but that didn't seem to make any difference.

Any suggestions for how to tell the machine that they really are *not* installed??

[SOLUTION]

I had 8 or 9 people reply with basically the same answer:

Look in the /usr/.smdb./ for MME*.lk

For every *.lk file that comes back, use setld -d on the subset name.

Presto - installation is now running.

Thanks to everyone who responded.

david.
