[ltp] X Dead on A21p after RH 9.0

[James Mckenzie]

He may also try to Freshen the install using
rpm -Fvh <package_file_name>.rpm
This can fix some, but not all, problems.

You can only use rpm -ivh to install NEW files or UPDATED files...

and lastly the following command removes packages:

rpm --erase <rpm_package_name>
