I don't know the origins of this RPM, but you can force an
installation by using

  rpm -Uvh --force packagefilename

Since you've already uninstalled, this shouldn't cause more damage to
your rpm database (which btw shouldn't be sensitive to rpm package
contents??) and I would expect that it would uninstall cleanly
afterwards.

I usually add a "--test" option before forcing an installation, just
to catch any other potential problems.

Good luck.
