Where is it not in the man pages?

QUOTE:
 ERASE OPTIONS
       The general form of an rpm erase command is

       rpm {-e|--erase} [--allmatches] [--nodeps] [--noscripts] [--notriggers]
       [--repackage] [--test] PACKAGE_NAME ...

       The following options may also be used:

       --allmatches
              Remove all versions of the  package  which  match  PACKAGE_NAME.
              Normally  an  error  is  issued if PACKAGE_NAME matches multiple
              packages.

       --nodeps
              Don’t check dependencies before uninstalling the packages.

That seems to cover it, and the options in question are even the first two to
be described.
