Hey, that's why the lists are here. FYI, if you have more than one RPM
to remove and they're all interdependent, you can just list them all at
once for removal:

rpm -e unixODBC-devel-2.2.5-9 unixODBC-2.2.5-9 unixODBC-kde-2.2.5-9

so that if the devel and kde ones are dependent on the main one, they all
just go away at once.
