This was a bug in that release of the lam-libs package, which was
fixed in the newest lam-libs.  I would do this (as root):

rpm -q --scripts lam-libs-7.1.2-11.fc9 > /tmp/lam-libs-scripts
rpm -e --noscripts lam-libs-7.1.2-11.fc9

Then look at the /tmp/lam-libs-scripts, in particular %preun and
%postun, and see if there's anything you need to handle manually.
