What was the package name?
Let's say the package name is SomePkg-1.2.3.fc13.i686

Run

sudo yum erase SomePkg

after that do

yum list installed 'SomePkg*'

If not found, then run

yum check to see which packages have missing
dependencies, and what those dependencies are.
It could very well tell you which package(s) need
that SomePkg.
