"yum reinstall bash" will generate an rpmdb version that includes both the old and new bash entries. You can easily see this via: yum version nogroups yum reinstall bash -y yum history info yum version nogroups ...both of the later two things will say that you have a different "rpmdb version". This screws up a bunch of stuff, and is a regression from 6.0 ... so we need to fix it before 6.1.
