If you came across an RPM issue regarding any system or other critical rpms need to remove from server to resolve the upcp, yum update issues, you can use RPM “–justdb” option instead of removing the entire RPM. This “justdb” option only removes that particular RPM entry from RPMDB on server.

+++++++
Eg: -bash-4.2# rpm -e –justdb puppet-2.6.12-1.el6.noarch
+++++++

–justdb -> update the database, but do not modify the filesystem
