Well, I tried a semi-tentative install:

rpm -i --nodeps --replacefiles XF* font* free*

Now I seem to have parts of both 4.1.0 and 4.2.0, though everything
seems to be working.  Any suggestion on the safest way to get rid of
the older rpms without disturbing the new?  Is it as simple as
rpm -e XFree86-4.1.0-25, etc?  (And try to find 4.2.0 versions of the
missing pieces?)

# rpm -qa | grep XFree86 | sort
