Before you do a force reinstall of a package please can you try a
couple of things:
1)rpm -q packagename  and make sure there aren't unexpected duplicates
of a package installed. Having duplicates installed when you dont
expect them to be can be indictive of other package update problems.

2) can you do an rpm -V package on the package to verify that the
files on disk are as expected. rpm -V should return nothing for most
packages, and at most should show you the configuration files you have
editted by hand. but if rpm -V output shows things that are clearly
not configuration files, or shows a long list of files thats another
indication that the upgrade process didnt work as expected.
