[lug] Multiple rpms of the same version installed

[Michael D. Hirsch]

I've had to deal with multiple rpms of the same name being installed by 
accident.  This typically happens to me when the postinstall script fails for 
any reason.  

But this is a new one to me.  There are multiple copies of an rpm, and two of 
those copies have the same version.  Anyone know how to fix?

Here's the symtoms.  Sorry about the goofy package names.  :-/

root at zebra root]# rpm -q Is-synovus-appliance-synovus-jsp
Is-synovus-appliance-synovus-jsp-3.4.4-2
Is-synovus-appliance-synovus-jsp-3.4.4-1
Is-synovus-appliance-synovus-jsp-3.4.4-2
[root at zebra root]# rpm -e Is-synovus-appliance-synovus-jsp-3.4.4-2
error: "Is-synovus-appliance-synovus-jsp-3.4.4-2" specifies multiple packages
[root at zebra root]# rpm -e Is-synovus-appliance-synovus-jsp-3.4.4-2 --force
