that exactly what I did before

$ rpm -q kernel-module-ntfs gave me
package kernel-module-ntfs is not installed

snow I tried

$ rpm -qa | grep -i ntfs which gave me
kernel-module-ntfs-2.6.17-1.2157_FC5-2.1.27-0.rr.10.5

now I tried to remove the package
$ rpm -e kernel-module-ntfs gave me
error: package kernel-module-ntfs is not installed

I had to try
$ rpm -e kernel-module-ntfs-2.6.17-1.2157_FC5-2.1.27-0.rr.10.5

to remove it

why is that so? usually it should be suffifcient to provide the name
like "kernel-module-ntfs" only, why whole pacakge name including
version?
