To add to Matthias' comments, it is easy to get confused if updating from
different sources.  I personally use RPM to keep track of what is going on.
You can build and install RPMs from the source tarball you download by doing
an:
rpmbuild -tb leafnode.1.9.27.rel.tar.bz2
rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/leafnode.1.9.27.rel.i386.rpm

And even though Matthias doesn't use RedHat he is very quick to correct
problems with building RPMs!
