Yeah, that will work, but usually you WANT the uninstall scripts to run. So
the safest (by far not the easiest) way would be to read the uninstall script
(inside the rpm file, now probably somewhere on your system -- I'm not sure
where to find it, so ask someone else) and debug it, and if that's not
possible, uninstall without scripts and manually do anything required.
This (I'd guess) would make the uninstall cleaner and make it easier to
install again, should you choose to (a wise decision).
