I'm running into an issue while doing some system cleanup. The two packages: Nautilus and Nautilus-cd-burner are dependent on each other. Attempting
rpm -e nautilus

or
rpm -e nautilus-cd-burner error: Failed dependencies: nautilus-cd-burner is needed by (installed) nautilus-2.6.0-4
What is the best way to proceed in order to remove these packages?
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.
