Every time I see a new release of rpm, I get the shivers. Today's breakage:
rpm -e <list> used to work even if some rpms in the list weren't
installed in the first place. As of 4.3.3 (on ia64), attempting to erase
a non-installed rpm causes a fatal error. Why? I wanted it gone. If it's
already gone, so much for the better. So now I have to first query the
list of installed rpms from that list, then erase them (with all sorts
of race conditions imaginable between the two operations) - or is there
some magic option that I can't find when saying rpm --help that will
restore the previous behaviour - or should I use --force?
