[ATrpms-users] How to completely remove pm-utils

For some reason, I cannot get rid of pm-utils.  I am not even sure how
it ever got on my system, but half the time I try to do a smart
upgrade, I get hit with these errors:

Committing transaction...
error: vbetool-0.7-2.fc7 conflicts with pm-utils <= 0.99.3-11
error: radeontool-1.5-2.fc7 conflicts with pm-utils <= 0.99.3-11


I am forced to remove pm-utils by the specific package that is
installed (in this case it was pm-utils-0.99.3-6.fc7), but all that
did was:
Upgrading packages (1):
  pm-utils-0.99.3-9.fc7.2cubbi_tuxonice at i386

I don't even have a cubbi_tuxonice kernal.  Still, I let it do it, and
then had to again remove that package because I got this error again:

Committing transaction...
error: vbetool-0.7-2.fc7 conflicts with pm-utils <= 0.99.3-11
error: radeontool-1.5-2.fc7 conflicts with pm-utils <= 0.99.3-11

I then removed (or actually donwgraded pm-utils):

[root at localhost ~]# smart remove pm-utils-0.99.3-9.fc7.2cubbi_tuxonice at i386
Loading cache...
Updating cache...

Computing transaction...

Downgrading packages (1):
  pm-utils-0.99.3-6.fc7 at i486

And now I can finally upgrade the system.  Thing is I don't think I
need vbetool or radeontool (I don't have a VBI or a ATI card), and
have no idea why I would need pm-utils.  What do I need to do to
eliminate all of these from my system?
