The RPM package manager (RPM, originally called Red Hat Package Manager) is a package manager used by variuos distributions like Red Hat, Fedora and openSUSE.

rpm uses a database to store information about installed software packages and calculates dependencies between packages. So it is nearly impossible to delete the package containing the libc (which is a very important package) without deleting all the other packages.

Windows users know such a kind of packager manager as the Windows Installer.
