I didn't use apt/synaptic but rather the distributed ISO's to upgrade from RH9 to Fedora and ended up with both ntp rpms too. rpm -qa | grep ntp- ntp-4.1.2-5 ntp-4.1.2-0.rc1.2

$ rpm -e ntp-4.1.2-0.rc1.2 then just to make sure... $ rpm -V ntp-4.1.2-5 if there are problems - remove them bouth and install the new one
You're correct, I could do that but it might cure the symptom without determining the disease. I was hoping that someone could shed some light on the question of the "scriptlet" to see if we can determine what caused the error and perhaps get it fixed so others don't run into this problem.

I think it has something to do with the rpm bug that makes it lock and crash sometimes. Unfortunately it locks/crashes very rarely and is probably still not fixed. When I installed fedora core 1 at home I could not get rpmbuild working 1/2 days - it crashed just before packing all the files in the final .rpm :( The next day (maybe after I installed some binary packages) it started working by itself... and fortunately I have no problems till now... I had some more problems I'm trying to reproduce again... but no luck till now (ex: one package installed fine with DESTDIR=/tmp/zzz by hand, but tryed to install in / from rpmbuild regardles of the DESTDIR in the .spec file...).
