restoring original configuration files for an rpmpackage

httpd.conf will be moved to httpd.conf.rpmsave when you rpm
-e If I recall.
 
then when you do the install you will have a stock
httpd.conf

	Hi,
	
	I'm trying to use the rpm command to refresh the httpd
package which

httpd.conf with a

manually, and

	Any ideas on this?

There are loads of dependencies on httpd, and I get
"rpm -e --force"  
rpm: only installation, upgrading, rmsource and rmspec may
be forced
