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\*
oops. Got that wrong. try this one instead
rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep kde-il8n)
