hello vinzent,
you dont have any problem with you're rpm-database or any other problems
with the software ...
to uninstall a package you've to name the package with versionnumber ...
you can't only name the filename as they often do not include the version
number
so you'll jast have to make a "rpm -q [packagename]" then you see the
exact name of the packege and that's the name you have to use for
uninstalling.
