This is a known problem from my perspective and not necessarily an RPM problem. I have seen it before, but not consistently. Certainly not enough to debug it or reproduce it. If you can find a way to consistently reproduce the bug I might be able to fix it. But until I can reproduce it I just have not been able to debug it.
I suspect this happens when the older rpm installed rxapid using the classic SystemV interface and the new rpm is installed using the new systemctl interface. It appears the old rpm is not being entirely removed and then when you install and remove the new rpm that causes everything to be cleaned up properly. But this is just a a guess on my part. Luckily, as you have discovered, just reinstalling the rpm will almost always fix the problem. David Ashley On Fri, 2014-01-31 at 18:09 -0600, J.
