Cause
One issue that may arise is, there is not enough space under /var and thus it will continually try. Once the capacity is lowered the uninstall completes.
Résolution
Check the following directories for any messages on all nodes.

/tmp/isi_pkg_outcmdck1
You see something like this below if the issue is present. Conduct troubleshooting on the capacity of /var for that node. Reduce the space in /var to allow to patch the to be removed.
