Problem: Removing python-boto from the system and Yum. It appears to be no longer installed, but still appears in Yum.
Tried: yum clean all; yum check; rpm -e –noscripts python-boto and rpm -e –noscripts python-boto.noarch but has not resolved. Use find to check if package appears to be there. See below for detailed results of each.
Question: What else can I try and what risks are there with trying it
# yum list | grep boto

The package isn't installed at all.
yum list
lists all available packages, whether installed or not.To show only installed packages, use
yum list installed
