Well excuse me, but I think that 'rpm --rebuilddb' SHOULD fix this kind 
of mess.  I am utterly amazed at how absolutely impotent this supposed 
database sanity tool actually is.  In my experience it is next to 
useless for any but the most trivial rpm database corruptions.  And 
thats my two cents on the matter.

when the same version of a package is insalled more than once, use
--all-matches option

man rpm:

  Remove all versions  of  the  package  which  match
  PACKAGE_NAME.  Normally an error is issued if PACK­
  AGE_NAME matches multiple packages.

extrange.. hmmm   I never Upgrade kernels, always install new ones... 
saves troubles and headaches ;-)  when I want to uninstall something I better 
use rpm -e file-namexxx.mdk.rpm or use 'kpackage' it takes care of everything.

urpmi now has kernell listed in /etc/urpmi/inst.lst  this causes new 
kernels to be installed, not upgraded, so the list of installed kernels 
keeps growing.

Also, if you are manually removing multiply listed packages you must use 
the rpm switch --allmatches.

'rpm -e --allmatches kernel-blabla' is winner.
