A Linux administrator has downloaded the network-tools-12.1-17.i386.rpm package for installation to a local system. The administrator issues the rpm -ivh nerwork-cools-12.1- 17.i386.rpm command to install the package. After attempting to use the newly installed package, the administrator realizes the package for the system's architecture was not installed correctly. Which of the following commands should the administrator use to remove the package from the system?

Question

Accepted Answer

A. rpm -e network-tools The `rpm -e` (or `--erase`) command is used to uninstall a package from the system. When erasing, you specify the package name (`network-tools`), not the full RPM file name or version, as the system identifies installed packages by their registered names.

Answer

B. rpm -U network-tools-12.1-17.i386.rpm The `rpm -U` (or `--upgrade`) command is used to upgrade or install a package, not remove it.

Answer

C. rpm -ivh network-tools-12.1-17.i686.rpm The `rpm -ivh` command is used to install a package (`-i`), show verbose output (`-v`), and display a hash mark progress bar (`-h`), not to remove it; furthermore, `i686` is another architecture, not a removal command.

Answer

D. rpm -r network-tools The `-r` option is not a standard or documented option for `rpm` to remove a package; `-e` is the correct option for erasing.
