In the end, all those methods call the rpm program to apply the
install/update/removal. So, if rpm says there are three versions of a
certain package, chances are that all three are installed, one on top of
the other.
What I propose is that you try to remove all three versions of the rpm,
then reinstall the last one - even if that means dozens of them. You can
make an script.
