erasing multiple packages

[Prakash_Nara Dell com]

Is there a way to erase multiple packages in a single transaction without
naming all the packages.

I know something like the following works.
rpm -e somepkgagent  somepkgclient  somepkgserver  somepkgsomething.

But the following doesn't work
rpm -e somepkg*

Does anyone know a better way to erase a bunch of rpms without naming them
all?

Thanks
