"--force" is an install option.
To remove an installed package on which other packages depend you need
"--nodeps"
eg. rpm -e --nodeps sendmail
$ man rpm
UNINSTALL OPTIONS
The general form of an rpm uninstall command is
rpm -e <package_name>+
[snip]
--nodeps
Don't check dependencies before uninstalling the
packages.
