Getting rid of a package that will not remove properly

[Dwaine Garden]

I'm trying to get rid of a rpm package and rpm or yum will not remove 
it.   It's an older package that
for some reason is on my system.  Can't update the recent rawhide 
updates..  8*(

Getting this

[root at www lost+found]# yum erase swfdec.i386*
