This is really an RPM problem, but I spent much more time thatn I should
have realising that to uninstall a package using rpm, you must use the
package name, and not the name of the file containing the package, ie:
rpm --erase netatalk-1.5pre6-1mdk
and not
rpm --erase netatalk-1.5pre6-1mdk.i586.rpm
Of course, it is still possible to find yourself is a situation where
you get 'is already installed' when you try to install and 'is not
installed' when you try to uninstall. Then try to rebuild your rpm
database, or the --force option.
