How did you end up with 1.12r7 and a managerpm module for 1.13r2 in
the first place? That is what is "a bit strange", surely!
In my experience, one needs the module name suffixes to exactly match
the version of Linuxconf you have installed. That way, they are
correctly handled by the rpm package management procedures.
Perhaps you manually added the managerpm.so.1.13.2 file earlier?? If
there is a way to get RPM to install Linuxconf 1.12r7 and
managerpm.so.1.13.2 without complaining, there is a version management
problem somewhere. Let us know how you got the machine into this
state.

On the console? Surely not. You can SSH (or telnet or rlogin if
security is not a concern!!) into the machine, su, rm the offending
file, and then do the Linuxconf upgrade using rpm at a root shell
prompt as normal. Console access ought not to be required at all for
this. Since you can't update system utilities like Linuxconf using
rpm without being root anyway, I don't see why this error required you
to be physically present at the console.
