There are two ways to verify packages.
1) verify installed package vs. RPM database:
rpm -V xwpe-X11
2) verify installed package vs. package file:
rpm -Vp xwpe-X11-1.4.2-11.i386.rpm
You did neither of those. You told RPM to verify a package called
xwpe-X11-1.4.2-11.i386.rpm, and there is no package with this name. It
is just the name of the file containing the package. New vocabulary eh.

This makes sense if you have installed the package.

I can't tell what you want to do. If you want to get rid of xwpe-X11,
then you should use "rpm -e xwpe-X11". If you want to reinstall it
after you remove it you should use "rpm -ivh xwpe-X11-1.4.2-11.i386.rpm".
