I want to reinstall fresh, after inadvertently deleting some files from 
two packages: jacktrip and qjackctl.  System still shows rpms present, 
so it seemed reasonable to try:
rpm -e jacktrip and then running # yum install *jacktrip*
but,
when I ran:
# rpm -q qjackctl
qjackctl-0.2.22-2.fc6.ccrma
then, rpm -e qjackctl, it balked. 
# rpm -e qjackctl
error: Failed dependencies:
        qjackctl is needed by (installed) 
planetccrma-apps-2007.05.10-1.fc6.ccrma.i386

Do I need to backtrack through all of the apps and dependencies?  Is 
there an easier way to get yum to reinstall qjackctl as a single package?
Happy Holidays, Tom
