        check tme rpm manpage, -e (erase) switch.

        Remove both the packages and then install the one you need.

        It would probably complain about the files dependencies, so
        use --nodeps switch too, but be sure to install the wanted
        kernel package (or some programs might stop repsonding).

        rpm -i kernel-2.2.13-7msk.i386.rpm (or whatever the name is)
