This was a bug in that release of the lam-libs package, which was fixed in the newest lam-libs. I would do this (as root): rpm -q --scripts lam-libs-7.1.2-11.fc9 > /tmp/lam-libs-scripts rpm -e --noscripts lam-libs-7.1.2-11.fc9 Then look at the /tmp/lam-libs-scripts, in particular %preun and %postun, and see if there's anything you need to handle manually. -- Paul W.
