Better try this attached script I've especially created for situations
like this, run it with its output redirected to a file then do:
rpm -e `cat file`
In between you might want to review the list, but I've had no problems
with it only bug is that with 2 packages versioned like this:
name-1.1-9 name-1.1-10
it adds the name-1.1-10 to the list of packages to be uninstalled
instead of the old one, this does no harm and the next yum update will
fix it.
