Because -i installs a package set and -e uninstalls a package name, e.g. one is a bundle of files and one is already "extracted" which is recorded in the rpm database. Same as you can't tar -zxvf a .tar file but you can a .tar.gz file, since the .gz hasn't been gunzipped yet..
Yes. One is a file name and the other is a package name. But given that there is a 1:1 relationship between the two, would it have been such a burden to have it figure out such things on its own?
