Removing the Ksplice Enhanced Client Software

The following procedure describes how to remove the Ksplice Enhanced Client from a system.

  1. Remove the Ksplice Enhanced client software.
    sudo dnf -y remove ksplice
  2. Remove the offline version of the Ksplice Enhanced client software, if installed.
    sudo dnf -y remove ksplice-offline
  3. Remove the Ksplice-aware versions of the glibc+openssl packages from the system.
    1. Unsubscribe all the subscribed Ksplice-aware user space channels from the yum repository.
    2. Manually downgrade the Ksplice-aware packages using the dnf shell.
      dnf shell
> erase ksplice-helper
> downgrade glibc* openssl*
> run

      Note:

      The following single command performs the same downgrade action without needing manual entry and can be used for automation purposes:
      printf 'erase ksplice-helper\n downgrade glibc* openssl*\n run' | dnf -y shell
