[ale] tripwire is " trippin' "

[Geoffrey]

Locate the rpm that tripwire is from:

rpm -qf 'FULL PATH TO tripwire'

'rpm -e' the results of the above as in:

rpm -e tripwire.rpm


Understand, that anything else that is in that rpm will be removed also. 
  That may or may not be a problem.

rpm -ql tripwire.rpm


Will list all the files installed by this rpm.
