Replacing <package name> and <package file name> with the actual names.
Don't know what you mean by that ;-)
You're using the package filename for the database query instead of the package name. Try "rpm -q bcm5700" and you'll see that the package bcm5700 is already installed.
Installations use filenames; just about every other RPM action uses package names.
