EXACTLY!!! You have to specify ALL of the packages at once,
or it'll complain that you're breaking other files and will
exit.

Just TRY it before you complain. There's usually a reason
people tell you to do seemingly impossible things. In this
case, the reason is that you CAN specify multiple files at
once, and in a case where they are inter-dependant (like
Netscape) you HAVE to *UNINSTALL* all of them at once.
Otherwise RPM will give you an error stating that you can't
uninstall just one. :-)
