Note to self: When replacing *important* libraries like libselinux.so, don't just blast the unwanted RPM package away, figuring on then installing the new one. Instead, use --oldpackage or --force to replace the unwanted package with the desired one in atomic operation. Failure to do so will make both rpm and yum (and many other programs) unusable.
Is the above advisable ? Does this mean that "rpm -U" or even "yum update" would be inappropriate ?
