Hello everybody, I think this is a simple question. Here my situation: i have some duplicated packages: rpm -q --queryformat "%{name}.%{arch}\n" exim exim.x86_64 exim.x86_64
So i think i should remove both packages like this rpm -ev --allmatches exim
and reinstall it whit /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/check_cpanel_rpms --fix
Am I right? Will this break something, or it's safe? Thanks in advance.

  Not enough info ! Check the exact rpm versions of exim you have with: rpm -qa | grep exim exim-4.80.1-3.cp1136.x86_64

  You can remove both of them with (just in the rpm database, but not the filesystem) by doing the following: rpm -e --justdb --nodeps exim-4.80.1-1.cp1136 rpm -e --justdb --nodeps exim-4.80.1-3.cp1136
  Then reinstall and everything should be back in sync. /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/check_cpanel_rpms --fix
  You should open a ticket to investigate how your rpm database was corrupted. This usually happens when the update failed to complete for some reason.
