Perhaps you may have been including the version number of the
package that you were trying to remove, example:

# Try to query the package "tcpdump":

[EMAIL PROTECTED] MySQL]$ rpm -q tcpdump
tcpdump-3.7.2-1

# Now, to remove the package, do not include the version part:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] MySQL]$ rpm -e tcpdump

HTH.
