rpm -qa shows package installed but rpm -e says not installed

when I run following command

rpm -qa | grep -i team

result is:

teamviewer9-9.0.xxxxx

but when I do:

rpm -e teamviewer9-9.0.xxxxx

it says :

package teamviewer9-9.0.xxxxx is not installed

The real problem is that, for some reason teamviewer stopped launching at startup and if I manually type the command teamviewer in the terminal, it says command not found, hence wanted to uninstall and re-install.

but before doing that, I don't want to delete the folder in /opt/teamviewer, and wanted to understand what is going on? and is there any other way of fixing this issue i.e. reenabling the teamviewer daemon.

the linux distro is:

(SUSE Linux)

maybe your rpmdb was corrupt. In that case, you can always run

rpm --rebuilddb
