Just reread your message.
I was still having problems with the 2.0 centos version coming back even
though I'd removed it.
I tried Ross' suggesting, it removed things successfully (for both
2.0.whatever and 2.4.1.) But the new 2.4.1 won't install because
"package jre-1.6.0_04-fcs is already installed". Grrr.
I'm tempted to keep the 2.3 version that comes with the 5.2 upgrade, I
didn't notice any difference between 2.3 and 2.4, and I won't have to
constantly upgrade every time there's a "latest & greatest" OO.o ...
(Seems that's why I like CentOS to begin with!)
