Ouch! I've never really liked up2date and this seems to back that up.
Although I've had similar issues with autorpm too. After we fix this it's
probably best to install the 'yum' package from fedora core1 and configure
for a RedHat9 area.
OK the kernel stuff is fine, they can co-exist and you should have
/boot/grub/grub.conf entries for all of those.
hwdata and httpd should only have one version.
rpm -Uvh --force hwdata-0.89-1.1.i386.rpm
might do the trick there. Or else remove both and install the latest, it's
only going to affect kudzu and detection of devices.
As for httpd ... if you haven't done much setup then erase all and
re-install. 'man rpm' will tell you a command line option to apply to all
matching packages.
Otherwise... 'rpm -V' with the specific versions might tell you which
files are ok. If everything in the later version is OK then you
essentially just have an RPM database problem. There's another option to
only update the rpm database and not touch the rest of the filesystem.
It's impossible for these versions to all be concurrently installed in
default locations really.
