First note, that xinetd is not related to xine. To uninstall both xinetd packages, run: rpm -e --allmatches xinetd Most likely, this will fail due to dependencies which need xinetd, then run: rpm -e --allmatches --nodeps xinetd Then re-install xinetd with your favourite package tool (e.g. yum -y install xinetd). -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
