I did a rpm -qa | grep kde-il8n and now I have a long list of the il8n's which

work. I've read man pages and searched for a solution - I'm sure it's staring
me in the face - could someone tell me what I'm omitting?
The Bash shell gets greedy here and interprets * before the RPM command
receives it so you use the following instead which uses \ to tell the
shell to ignore it (ie) an escape sequence
rpm -e kde-i18n\*
