Today update problem

[Cristian Sava]

Hi,
Updating today I got this:

[ ... ]# sudo yum update
...
** Found 1 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows:
kde-settings-kdm-19-23.1.fc19.noarch is a duplicate with
kde-settings-kdm-19-23.fc19.noarch

When trying to delete the old package:

[ ... ]# sudo yum remove kde-settings-kdm-19-23.fc19.noarch
...
Transaction test succeeded
Running transaction
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.gqT87e: line 1: fg: no job control
error: %preun(kde-settings-kdm-19-23.fc19.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit
status 1
Error in PREUN scriptlet in rpm package
kde-settings-kdm-19-23.fc19.noarch
  Verifying  : kde-settings-kdm-19-23.fc19.noarch
1/1

Failed:
  kde-settings-kdm.noarch
0:19-23.fc19

Complete!

Trying "rpm -e kde-settings-kdm-19-23.fc19.noarch" also fail.
Any advice how to fix that?

Thanks,
C. Sava

Sorry for the noise,

rpm -e --noscripts kde-settings-kdm-19-23.fc19.noarch
yum reinstall kde-settings-kdm-19-23.1.fc19.noarch

did the trick
