Uninstall a relocatable package

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

NAME
order - package installation order description file DESCRIPTION
The package installation order file, .order, is an ASCII file specifying the order in which packages must be installed based on their pre- requisite dependencies. Any package with prerequisite dependencies must be installed after any packages it lists as a prerequisite dependency in its depend file. A .order file is required for the OS product. The .order file must reside in the top-level directory containing the product. The ordering is specified as a list of package identifiers, from the first package to be installed to the last, one package identifier per line. NOTES
The depend file supports incompatible and reverse dependencies. These dependency types are not recognized in the order file. SEE ALSO
