[NMLUG] RPM's

Hello,

I've encountered a situation with Python 2.2 on one of my computers. I
was compiling some software which required Python 2.2 and above.
Afterwards my Python installation seems to have been corrupted. I
rebooted and the system wouldn't boot without me fsck'ing it. Fsck
discovered several problems with files in Python which were screwed up
and removed them. There aren't any more file system problems but Python
is corrupted. I did an RPM verification on the Python package and it
confirmed that those files were now missing. I've tried uninstalling
Python but other packages require it and I don't feel confident removing
it and then installing it again because it may corrupt something else.
How can I go about reinstalling the Python RPM package without
corrupting anything?
