Through man rpm, we found that-allmatches should be able to solve this problem:

-Allmatches
Remove all versions of the package which match PACKAGE_NAME. Normally an error is issued if PACKAGE_NAME matches

Rpm-e -- allmatches mysqlclient10-3.23.58-4.RHEL4.1
Rpm-e -- allmatches mysql-4.1.20-2.RHEL4.1
