The thing is: I don't know. I didn't even know managerpm was installed :-)

I'd rather not try going back and do this all over again: this is a
production machine and I don't have a test machine for linux running right
now.

What is the best way to install ssh and get a secure connection from a
(don't shiver!) Windows 95/NT machine to log on to a linux machine?

The error-message appeared on the console while RPM was updating linuxconf
(without anyone being logged in on it - strange!). Because of this, the
console kept some linuxconf processes running. RPM refused to continue and
got so confused that it actually had installed TWO versions of linuxconf at
one time!
The only way to get it right, was running RPM at the console and manually
press OK on these error messages. Only then RPM would continue installing
1.13r12 and removing 1.12r7. After that, upgrading to the right managerpm
solved the other problems.
