Well, there is no package called wordperfect.  In fact, all i can find
is RPM.  However, there is an RPM directory in my distfiles directory
that is *full* of rpms.  I want to remove every vestige of
wordperfect, but  i don't want to leave any renegade rpms.  Obviously
i can delete the files in the dist dir, but they still might have been
installed somewhere.  I ran RPM -qa to query all packages, and it
tells me:

failed to open //var/lib/rpm/packages.rpm

rpmQuery: rpmdbOpen() failed

So, i need to find a way to remove anything RPM might have installed,
but RPM won't tell me what *has* been installed.  Any idea how to do
this?

Also, there is a WP directory in my home dir that i can delete, but
obviously this is a last resort.  I would like to do this the 'right'
way.  Frankly, i've *had* it with RPMs... i never appreciated pkg_info
as much as i do now....
