I upgraded peacemeal. The rpm came from the redhat mirror at 
sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch

Where is it from?

Did you upgrade anything else in the process?

No longer. I checked, and all the rpm script wanted was those files in 
/etc/alternatives. IOW, once I solved the problem of the 
redhat-[switch¦config]-printer, LPRng was willing to disappear into the 
nothingness of rpm -e.

Now I still 'd like to figure out why went wrong with the updated glibc 
(glibc-2.3.2-27.9) that trashed my system, leading to the whole mess in the 
first place.
