I didn't think there was any functional difference between:
rpm -e package-name

yum remove package-name
Isn't yum just a front-end for the rpm system?
Even if that were completely true, it's not a good idea to mix different commands, especially for installing or removing packages. If you use rpm to find what you want to remove, remove it with rpm.
And - ditto to what everyone else already said.
