I had the same error message when I tried to invoke sudo rpm -e package-version.platform.rpm instead of sudo rpm -e package-version. Just wanted to share, since I landed on your question searching for why I couldn't uninstall a package that I knew I had installed...

| Aug 2, 2013 at 18:58 | comment | added | user556144 | Thanks. I don't have access to it now, but really it was just a one line script removing a directory with a fixed path like "rm -rf /a/b/". So no obvious connection with $HOME. Also manually running that command with sudo also works fine and the directory is removed (without needing to use -H)! | |

Can we have a look at the script? Could it perhaps be removing files from $HOME?
