I have been trying to use rpm or dnf to remove some rpms. Most
the ones I am concerned with are docker related, and or to do with go
(golang). You certainly can't use wildcards with rpm erase. I have a
list generated with the date these rpms were installed, but I am not
THAT good with CLI and bash operations like cut, xargs, sed and so on to
alter the list; and I wouldn't be sure how to pipe the list contents or
redirect to rpm the text's content from the ascii text file, to erase
these particular rpms. Is there a way to mass erase many files (with rpm
switches or such) using rpm? Here is an example of what I have been
trying to do, ex:

list.txt,

gcc-devel // example,

python-devel //example

rpm -e // would this list content be redirectable to rpm -e ?

cat list.txt

lists rpms,

rpm -e < cat list, or

cat list | rpm -e

do not work.
