Thanks for everybodies help.
Unfortunately I was never able to get rpm to work.
What I ended up to do was find all the files and delete them. I then
forced rpm to do a new installation.

Make sure you aren't appending something like .i386.rpm onto the
end of the package name when you do rpm --erase.

Have you given .i386.rpm at the end ? . In this case it will fail as you
have mentioned. You need to query the package name and then pass the
name of the package to b erased.
Ex:- rpm -qa |grep am-u*
It would return am-utils-6.0.7-9
Then type rpm -e am-utils-6.0.7-9.
