As so many pointed out,

	rpm -e PACKAGE_NAME ...

where the '...' means possibly more than one package, with the RPM 
system sorting out the rest.  It seems that RTFM was used here, but 
UTFM (Understand The Fine Manual) was needed.  After having messed 
around with the RPM system for a bit, I now understand it much better.  
Thanks for the quick answer.
