Can you post the output of what you're doing so we can see how you're
typing in the commands? For example, if I wanted to know what version of
svgalib I have, I type:
# rpm -q svgalib
and get:
svgalib-1.3.0-4
so then, if I want to remove that package from my system I'd type rpm -e
svgalib-1.3.0-4 and it will be uninstalled.
