The problem may be that you are specifying the package incorrectly.

try this:

rpm -qa|grep webmin

what is returned is what you need to use to remove it.

you can then do

rpm -e $(rpm -qa|grep webmin)

The difference is that you must name the "package" when removing a package,
but you are naming a "file" during the installation.  If the file contains a
package that is already installed rpm will refuse to install it for obvious
reasons.

Both of th following examples give rpm enough information to detect which
package I am wanting information about.

[bhughes@bretdell_linux bhughes]$ rpm -qa| grep webmin
webmin-0.83-1



[bhughes@bretdell_linux bhughes]$ rpm -q webmin
webmin-0.83-1

[bhughes@bretdell_linux bhughes]$ rpm -qi $(rpm -qa| grep webmin)
