True. I considered that, and then decided that I could never recommend
using "rpm -e" as a test, even with the --test flag, due to the risk of
operator error. Though if you put it in an alias, I suppose that the
risk is minimal and the answer is simpler. :)
It's not really dangerous even without --test, because if it has
dependencies the remove is not done, you just get an error.
And further, the OP originally asked for a solution which could be run
as a non-root user (otherwise yum erase PACKAGE would give the same
answer), and when run as non-root, the transaction will fail and nothing
can be removed anyway. So overall I think it's a pretty good solution to
the OPs question.
