Just to be sure, what do the following return:
$ rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}.%{RELEASE} (%{ARCH})\n"|grep apr
$ rpm -q -Vv apr

What happens when you add the package again?

$ sudo rpm -Uvh /home/evan/redhat/RPMS/i386/apr-devel-1.2.7-10.i386.rpm 
/home/evan/redhat/RPMS/i386/apr-1.2.7-10.i386.rpm

or, if there are no other dependencies, when you de-install, then 
re-install it?

Kind regards,

Herta
