This is wrong. src.rpm files are not installed like binary rpms.  They are
extracted only. You cannot "-e" (erase) them like binary rpms since they
never make it into the RPM database.  They are extracted to %_sourcedir,
which by default is below /usr/src/redhat for the root user.

No, Christopher's observation is entirely right. At some point you
compiled and installed an xplanet version for source tarball into
/usr/local/bin. As written earlier, delete the binary in there.  Look for
other xplanet files below /usr/local. You want to delete them too to save
space.
