I suggest you use yum:

Code:

$ yum list installed 'znc*'
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, kernel-module, priorities
Reducing CentOS-5 - Plus to included packages only
Finished
Installed Packages
znc.x86_64                            0.098-1.el5                      installed
znc-devel.i386                        0.098-1.el5                      installed
znc-devel.x86_64                      0.098-1.el5                      installed
$ sudo yum remove znc-devel.x86_64
--> Running transaction check
---> Package znc-devel.x86_64 0:0.098-1.el5 set to be erased
--> Finished Dependency Resolution

  znc-devel.x86_64 0:0.098-1.el5                                                

Complete!

$ yum list installed 'znc*'
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, kernel-module, priorities
Reducing CentOS-5 - Plus to included packages only
Finished
Installed Packages
znc.x86_64                           0.098-1.el5                       installed
znc-devel.i386                       0.098-1.el5                       installed

Just be careful not to remove a bunch of dependencies that other packages may depend on.
Same thing can be done with rpm. In this example

Code:

$ sudo rpm -e znc-devel.x86_64

yumdownloader

yumdownloader(1)														  yumdownloader(1)

NAME

       yumdownloader - download RPM packages from Yum repositories

SYNOPSIS

       yumdownloader [options] package1 [package2...]

DESCRIPTION

       yumdownloader is a program for downloading RPMs from Yum repositories.

GENERAL OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      Help; display a help message and then quit.

       --destdir DIR
	      Specify a destination directory for the download.  Defaults to the current directory.

       --urls Instead of downloading RPMs, list the URLs that would be downloaded.

       --resolve
	      When downloading RPMs, resolve dependencies and also download the required packages.

       --source
	      Instead of downloading the binary RPMs, download the source RPMs.

       --archlist=ARCH1[,ARCH2...]
	      Limit  the  query to packages of given architecture(s). Valid values are all architectures known to rpm/yum such as 'i386' and 'src'
	      for source RPMS. Note that repoquery will now change yum's "arch" to the first value in the archlist. So "--archlist=i386,i686" will
	      change yum's canonical arch to i386, but allow packages of i386 and i686.

ADDITIONAL OPTIONS

       Yumdownloader inherits all other options from yum. See the yum(8) man page for more information

EXAMPLES

       Download the kernel RPM to /var/tmp:
	      yumdownloader --destdir /var/tmp kernel

       List the URL for the kernel and kernel-smp RPMs:
	      yumdownloader --urls kernel kernel-smp

FILES

       As  yumdownloader  uses	YUM libraries for retrieving all the information, it relies on YUM configuration for its default values like which
       repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details:

       /etc/yum.conf
       /etc/yum/repos.d/
       /var/cache/yum/

SEE ALSO

       yum.conf (5)
       http://yum.baseurl.org/

AUTHORS

       See the Authors file included with this program.

BUGS

       There are of course no bugs, but should you find any, you should first consult the FAQ section on  http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq  and	if
       unsuccessful  in  finding a resolution contact the mailing list: yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org.  To file a bug use http://bugzilla.redhat.com
       for Fedora/RHEL/Centos related bugs and http://yum.baseurl.org/report for all other bugs.
