I am attempting to upgrade a 4.0e system to 4.0f. In order to do so I
have to remove the layered products. In our case, Open3D. Well, I
removed them all using setld -d and it seemed to successfully removed
them. Or at least it claimed to have done so. Yet when I do a -i and
look for them again they are all still there. Yet on the other hand -v
claims the packages do not exist. Now it gets real dirty...

installupdate reports to me still that I can not upgrade because I have
the Open3D layered product installed.

-d will not work anymore because half of setld is claiming its not
installed and the other half claiming otherwise.

Anyone know how I get the package database to sync or at the very least
fix this issue?

Thanks.

A quick and dirty hack to do this is to delete the appropriate files
from /usr/.smdb.

Thanks for the info. It seems to have done the trick.
