Probably because "rpm -e {package name}" and "yum remove {package name}" does different things.

I'd suggest run yum remove openoffice.org-core && yum clean all


They don't really do different things to the rpm database.

yum erase/remove will ALSO solve for and remove dependencies (other things that need to be removed that depend on the packages you want to remove).

HOWEVER ... yum is nothing more than a depsolver and front end that uses rpm to do it's actions, so it is NOT different that rpm -e (it uses rpm -e) when removing files.


Oh, I thought yum had a different cache / database of what is installed?
