The default query format of rpm in RHEL 5 unfortunately doesn't show the
architecture which makes this look sillier than it is. Try the following:

rpm -q --qf "%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n" aspell

The full name from the above can be used to remove individual packages on
multilib systems, or you can remove both with "rpm -e --allmatches aspell"
