If you read http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...core-2-229387/ and then http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...core-1-173874/ you could start by removing the offending package. If 'rpm -qa' then lists all packages OK you know it's a back package. If it still doesn't you might have another bad package or try rebuilding the RPMDB (make backup first) which may or may not work depending on your distro and release or RPM version.
