"rpm -e --allmatches openvpn" works perfectly as expected. I had the same
problem again this morning, multiple openvpn and snort packages.

I use smart for my package management and it looks promising to me.
I currently use "smart-0.40-10.guru.suse100". It looks like smart is giving
me those multiple installed packages. When I search in smart for snort, I
see it two times (one package is on two locations):
http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/10.0-i386/RPMS.base/snort-2.3.3-2.i586.rpm
http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/10.0-i386/RPMS.security/snort-2.3.3-2.2.i586.rpm
http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/10.0-i386/RPMS.update/snort-2.3.3-2.2.i586.rpm

Is this a smart problem or a problem with the apt repositories?

When smart is trying to update e.g. snort it hung, I needed to kill it.

Are the you maintainers looking at smart?

Best regards,
