Thanks Jim,
That was appreciated, but it did not solve my problem. I cannot edit those
files because they are Berkley DB(Hash, version 7, native byte-order). At
sometime I deleted manually some kernel version files not knowing that
rpm -e would clean up everything, and then I reinstalled a kernel rpm. what
I got was two entries in the rpm database. Now I cannot remove the entries.
and before I can upgrade the kernel I need to do that(because of dependency
issues), or I will just have to install over what I have after I repartition
the hard drive.

It's in /var/lib/rpm
rpm -ql <package>
will show you the files associated with a package. So I did
rpm -ql rpm | more
