Duplicated RPM (Exim) Can i remove all exim rpms and reinstall?

[attiliok]

Hello everybody,
I think this is a simple question.
Here my situation: i have some duplicated packages:

rpm -q --queryformat "%{name}.%{arch}\n" exim
exim.x86_64
exim.x86_64

So i think i should remove both packages like this

rpm -ev --allmatches exim

and reinstall it whit

/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/check_cpanel_rpms --fix

Am I right? Will this break something, or it's safe?

Thanks in advance.

exim.x86_64

Not enough info !

Check the exact rpm versions of exim you have with:

rpm -qa | grep exim

exim-4.80.1-3.cp1136.x86_64

Thanks! Here the output

rpm -qa | grep exim
exim-4.80.1-1.cp1136
exim-4.80.1-3.cp1136

You can remove both of them with (just in the rpm database, but not the filesystem) by doing the following:

rpm -e --justdb --nodeps exim-4.80.1-1.cp1136
rpm -e --justdb --nodeps exim-4.80.1-3.cp1136

Then reinstall and everything should be back in sync.

/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/check_cpanel_rpms --fix

You should open a ticket to investigate how your rpm database was corrupted. This usually happens when the update failed to complete for some reason.
