Unable to install rpm package in Red Hat Linux

I am using Red Hat Linux installed on VMWare ESXi.

I am using putty to access the machine.

I want to install xyz.noarch.rpm package on RHEL system. When I try the command

rpm -ivh xyz.noarch.rpm

I get an error package already installed.

When I verify the same by using the rpm -q xyz.noarch.rpm.

I get response as package xyz.noarch.rpm is not installed. I also tried with the uninstalling the same by using the command as rpm -ev xyz.noarch.rpm the also I get the same response as package xyz.noarch.rpm is not installed.

Can anybody help me to sort out the issue?

i faced a similar issue and found that both installation and removal (erase) was not working for a rpm package that i installed. i tried using 

rpm -e --allmatches <package-name>

The file is named xyz.noarch.rpm, but in the database it's just xyz. So try rpm -qi xyz.
