Try doing:
rm -f /var/rpm/lib/__db*
rpm --rebuilddb
The second command may take some time.

?????? scratch scratch,
Does RedHat not have a software-manager ?
Or try with Midnight Commander, if you have not got it install it, great tool, all functions under F2 !

Before unistalling you have to check for dependencies. Wine has dependencies.
cl: rpm -q --whatrequires <package>
After that run:
rpm -evv <package>|more
the -vv <> |more shows the output so you will see what was deleted |
