I would evaluate the difference before to do that.
You should unpack both package in a temporary directory and look for difference.
This is very easy they are all text file.
Use # rpm2cpio RPM_file | cpio -idv
to unpack the RPM file
and # diff -ru /tmp/dir1 /tmp/dir2
to compare recursively text file
This will help you to understand what your probleme is.
Be carefull about file /etc/init.d/halt , this is the last command run
when shutingdow
