What to do if rpm-I says not installed?
As an aside, generally avoid using -i / –install in favor of -U / –upgrade as it has saner behavior in many cases (and will install a package that isn’t already installed just fine). Alternatively, stop using rpm entirely and just start using yum instead yum install jmeter.i386.rpm. (Yes, install works for localinstall .)
What’s the difference between install and erase in rpm?
–install takes an RPM. –erase takes a package name. So rpm -Uvh jmeter.i386.rpm is paired with rpm -e jmeter or jmeter.i386. As an aside, generally avoid using -i / –install in favor of -U / –upgrade as it has saner behavior in many cases (and will install a package that isn’t already installed just fine).
Is the RPM installed on Oracle Linux 6.5?
I’ve run into a bit of an issue with rpm on an Oracle Linux 6.5 box. I installed an RPM, and it appears to have installed successfully. However, now I am trying to remove it, but rpm says it’s already installed.

Why does rpm continue to complain about a missing file?
If RPM doesn’t control this file, it doesn’t matter if it’s on the system, from RPM’s perspective it isn’t installed. Similar issue? I came across this thread which looks to be identical to the issue you are having. The only tangible suggestion from that thread is to make sure that the files you’re working with are on the local system.
Why does CentOS-rpm report dependency but it is present?
The problem appears to be that the “instant client” package doesn’t list the libraries as Provides: at all. This has been depressingly common with proprietary packages but then, to be fair, it’s not installing those libraries in the usual location, and it would in most cases be misleading to Provides: them anyway.
How to install rpm in a different directory?
RPM uses the RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX to determine the installation directory. To install in a different directory, set RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX so that RPM can install the product to the specified destination directory. For RPM 4.2, log on as root and delete all files in the directory /var/lock/rpm
