I have a x86_64 box that has two of the same rpm :
gtk2-2.12.1-5.fc8.i386.rpm
gtk2-2.12.1-5.fc8.x86_64.rpm
I have tried yum and rpm to remove the packages, but to no avail.
rpm -e gtk2
rpm -e gtk2-2.12.1.fc8
rpm -e gtk2-2.12.1.fc8.i386.rpm
rpm -e gtk2-2.12.1.fc8.x86_64.rpm
I just want to remove the RPM's
Why do you want to remove it? A quick google search makes me think
you should leave it alone. Even if you think it does not belong,
another program may require or depend on it to function correctly.
Have you properly identified this package? do you know what it does?
Are you absolutely certain that you don't need it?

It's not important as to why I want to remove, I understand how
important it is going to be to other applications on running.
Right now I want to know how to remove these two rpm's, If I could just
remove one of them then it would be easy to remove the other.
If you are using a x86_64 , try what I'm suggesting, if you have two
identical named rpm's try to remove one and you will see what I 'm
getting at, if you are using a i386 box it will be hard for you to
understand.
