rpm -e --nodeps nepomuk-widgets

this will remove the packages without NAY dependency-check
CAUTION: this is only sane for non-critical packages

after that there are three possibilites:
* a older version or replacement is pulled by distro-sync
* the package did only exist in unstable
* you can install it again
