Don't know why this happens, rpm -F (freshen installed packages)
managed to do that to me once, too...

rpm requires confirmation when deleting multiple packages; looking at
the man page ( man rpm ) and searching for 'multiple' shows the first
hit in the option '--allmatches': "Remove all versions of the package
which match ..."

So using

rpm -e --allmatches kernel-2.4.9-31

should help you; it did help me AFAIR.


So long,
