Not sure if this is what you're after, but

rpm -q <part_of_package_name>

Will tell you if a package is installed. For instance,

rpm -q apache

Will tell you if any versions of apache are installed. To then uninstall a package,

rpm -e <package_name_returned_from_-q>

Good luck,

rpm -q package-name

OR

rpm -qa | grep package-name

rpm -qi <part_of_package_name>

Will tell you if a package is some descripition of that rpm.In your system that rpm is there.

rpm -q apache

Will tell you if any versions of apache are installed. To then uninstall a package,

rpm -e <package_name_returned_from_-q>

We already install that rpm then this command is type erase that rpm (unistall).

Good luck,

You can also use the whereis command or the locate command.
