[GRASS-user] How to remove nonexistent vector map

I am trying to run v.in.ogr against a PostGIS database. The command’s output is:

ERROR: Vector map already exists

Yet when I run g.remove pointdata, I get:

Removing raster

Raster map not found

nothing removed

But then you may say, “Hey, moron, that’s a vector layer! Use the right command.” OK, I ran g.remove vect=pointdata and I get:

Removing vector

DBMI-DBF driver error:

Unable to open database <cat C:\Users\Aren Cambre\Desktop\DEEM documents\GRASS\DallasCountyCrashes\Crases2\dbf> by driver

Unable open database <cat C:\Users\Aren Cambre\Desktop\DEEM documents\GRASS\DallasCountyCrashes\Crases2\dbf> by driver

Unable to find table linked to vector map

couldn’t be removed

nothing removed

Huh?

should be a duplicate of

http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/1158

try GRASS svn, it should be fixed.
