No, what that does is install 100Mb of cruft that I don't want.  It 
won't let me do anything else.  So, back to rpm -e once again.  And, 
another six hours of deleting another load of rubbish.

rpm -e <package>

but, it tells me that I can't do that and then it doesn't help me to 
resolve my admin problem.  More useful then YaST2 though which just 
doesn't do anything that I tell it to do.  There must be a way to 
force RPM to delete packages that I don't want.

Thanks
