Only one way!? Well, if postfix is running fine, what I'd do is : rpm -e --justdb \ postfix-2.0.13-2.rh9 \ postfix-2.0.14-1.rh9 \ postfix-2.0.15-1.rh9 Then (you may want to do this before the above, just for fun) : rpm -Va 'postfix*' And if there is nothing unusual about the output, e.g. only config files changed, you should be safe. Having multiple occurences of postfix like this either means you were installing them over each other instead of upgrading (but you should have been getting errors), or that some late scriplet(s) keep failing, leaving both packages installed in the rpm database after an attempted upgrade (more likely).
