    Hi,

    If a package has been installed at normal location:
    installp -u <package_name>
    uninstalls the package

    However, if that has been installed relocatable, the above command fails.
    It requires the relocatable path as the parameter
    installp -R <relocation_path> -u <package_name>

    To find the relocation path, i have to give:
    lslpp -R ALL -l <package_name>
    Check from here where the package has been installed and then add the path to the "installp -u" command.

    I want to automate the uninstallation of a package. This fails if the package has been installed relocatably.

    How do i get around this?

    Thanks
