You need to do a lot more reading before you do anything.....

You need to learn about the naming of packages as opposed to the rpm 
file name....

A quick way to know what packages you have installed would be to do...

rpm -qa | grep vlc 

This will list out any packages with the name *vlc* (you do know what an 
* is...).

There never is a package name of "vlc-core.i386" or "0:0.8.6d-3.lvn8".  
Package names cannot have spaces in them.
