Common mistake because you did specify file names instead of package
names. The "package name" of an rpm file is the first alpha-numerical
part up to the version number. The rest is version number, package
revision, target host architecture and ".rpm" file extension. E.g.
glibc-2.3.2-27.9.i686.rpm => the file name
glibc => the package name
rpm --query glibc
glibc-2.3.2-27.9

Well, "linux rescue" mode is for small problems like that.
