That's why I didn't suggest that the OP not remove them as the first step, just that using > yum reinstall might be more time effective than doing it in two steps. i prefer in such operations make them step for step and watch each possible output. "yum reinstall" doe snot exactly the same than remove/install which is good if you want to reinstall a package because something ha messed up binary files but it handles config files totally different "yum reinstall" will never touch them and not create rpmnew/rpmsave files! so if something with conigs messed up i prefer a hard remove if it is not a critical package killing yum/rpm/ssl and implicitly remove a bunch of other apckages
