Re: problem deinstalling an rpm
Just a sidenote.: never ever think about using --force unless you have a consistent valid working perfect backup AND every other option failed AND you know what you are doing. The last time I've tried it (couple of years ago), I ended up with a kernel panic on a server 80 miles from me in the middle of the night. Not funny, I assure...

Re: problem deinstalling an rpm
Co-worker spotted my problem, I was trying to de-install a file, not a package name, once I dropped the .rpm, it worked beautifully. That second set of eyes helps.

Re: problem deinstalling an rpm
Did you try the -q and -e without the .s390x.rpm? Those commands aren't meant to work with the RPM's file name. Just its logical name (or fully-qualified name with version number, for cases where multiple versions can coexist).
