The rebuild still worked. I suspect you really have duplicated packages, or at least partially upgraded packages, which is effectively the same thing from rpm's point of view. You can use rpm to upgrade to a later version of a duplicated package, or if one of the versions is current, remove it and upgrade again. Michael Young
