Now you see it, now you don't - is package installed or not?

How does it work that I am getting below output?

Code:

$ skype
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
$ sudo rpm -e skype-2.2.0.25-2.x86_64.rpm 
error: package skype-2.2.0.25-2.x86_64.rpm is not installed
$ sudo rpm -Uvh --force skype-2.2.0.25-2.x86_64.rpm 
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:skype                  ########################################### [100%]
$ sudo rpm -e skype-2.2.0.25-2.x86_64.rpm
error: package skype-2.2.0.25-2.x86_64.rpm is not installed
$ skype
$

Initially skype crashes, I removed and reinstalled it and now it works, but rpm was and still is of the opinion that it's not installed.

You don't use the name of .rpm when deleting. Just use

Code:

rpm -e skype
