I had the same problem and my Xserver died after I did rpm -e
initscripts. The way I arrived at this problem is because
rhs-printfilters and printool both needed LPRng which I never needed and
I never figured out how to get working. I lost everything on my
harddrives after that running rh-6.1 installer since I never figured out
how to burn a rawhide installer cd for each build.
