I am a total noob with linux. So please explain clearly if you have a solution for me. I have an VPS and I want to update JAVA. I found a guide on the Java site which says:

rpm -e < package_name >

I searched for the packages:

[root@srv1 ~]# rpm -qa | grep java 
java_cup-0.10k-5.el6.x86_64
java-1.5.0-gcj-1.5.0.0-29.1.el6.x86_64

Than I tried to do the delete command

[root@srv1 ~]# rpm -e java-1.5.0-gcj-1.5.0.0-29.1.el6.x86_64

error: Failed dependencies:

    java-gcj-compat is needed by (installed) java_cup-1:0.10k-5.el6.x86_64
    java-gcj-compat >= 1.0.70 is needed by (installed) sinjdoc-0.5-9.1.el6.x86_64

What should I do now? Removing has worked thanks to the answer below

Problem two!

[root@srv1 java]# rpm -ivh jre-7u9-linux-i586.rpm
