It does not work:

# rpm -qa | grep audit-libs | xargs rpm -e --allmatches
error: package audit-libs_1.3.1-1.el5.i386 is not installed
error: package audit-libs_1.3.1-1.el5.x86_64 is not installed


Perhaps because of a bash alias?

alias rpm='rpm --qf '\''%{name}_%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n'\'''


I had to install this because RHEL5 has a big bug: when you run rpm
directly, it produces this funny output:

# rpm -q audit-libs
audit-libs-1.3.1-1.el5
audit-libs-1.3.1-1.el5

With alias, I get at least:

# rpm -q audit-libs
audit-libs_1.3.1-1.el5.x86_64
audit-libs_1.3.1-1.el5.i386

RHEL4 has no problem like this.
