I think you will need to "rpm -e" them all at one swell foop, to wit:

rpm -e httpd mod_perl mod_python ...

That means, of course, that you will have to download and build and
install all those (that you want) from scratch.  I think Rick Stevens
will tell you that's the prefered way to do it anyway.

BTW, I've forgotten the original purpose.  Why do you want to replace
Apache 2 with Apache 1.3?  Just curious.
