Packages are named Name-Version-Release. Version and Release cannot contain "-"; so everything before second to last dash is package name (which may include dashes itself). rpm command accepts package Name or full Name-Version-Release (to disambiguate between multiple installed instances).

Hello:
In rpm package names which part of the name is that can be used as package name in rpm command? What is the rule?
Here are a few examples from my installed rpms list:
Mesa-libGL1-9.2.5-61.13.1.x86_64 kdemultimedia3-sound-3.5.10.1-11.1.4.x86_64 cpp48-4.8.1_20130909-3.2.1.x86_64 pulseaudio-module-zeroconf-4.0.git.270.g9490a-20.1.x86_64
For example I'd like to run rpm -e <package-name>. How do I know what is the package name?
Thanks,
Istvan
