Thanks for the help and sorry about the newbie error.
I've tried to force the upgrade of the rpm files but I can't get RPM to
even start I get:

Rpm: error while loading shared libraries: libbeecrypt.so.6: cannot open
shared object file: No such files or directory.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Jeff
