important it is going to be to other applications on running.
Right now I want to know how to remove these two rpm's, If I could just
remove one of them then it would be easy to remove the other.
If you are using a x86_64 , try what I'm suggesting, if you have two
identical named rpm's try to remove one and you will see what I 'm
getting at, if you are using a i386 box it will be hard for you to
understand.
What i don't get is why you would remove a package that is essential for the system to operate properly. I have 64 a bit box here but unlike you i have no desire to break it. Good Luck.
