I did a "yum groupremove Java" and that failed "somehow". Yum listed all 
group members as "erased", but some rpm packages failed because of missing 
config files or so. As a result none of the 50 packages were removed from 
the rpm database, but all of their files seem to have been removed.
How can I clean them out from the rpm db?
