I'm somewhat uncomfortable about making recommendations here, and 
dubious about mixing 0.26 and 0.28; but if the errors above are the only 
ones that exist, and not just the first of what turns out to be a very 
long sequence, you might try

rpm -e --nodeps php-MythTV-0.25.2-287.el6.x86_64

but I forget just how much of the package name has to be specified.  See 
also this (old) thread that was initially concerned with moving away 
from ATrpms.
