How to disable multiple versions of 'procps'

[nrezinorn]

What distribution is this?  Fedora?
If there are multiple packages installed via a manager (lets say
yum),try running this command:

> rpm -qa |grep procps

If you get more than one result, you should be able to  rpm -e the
full rpm name you don't want/need.  I find it stranger than an RPM
distro is "slotting" packages with the same name....but i guess you
can do that from what you stated above.

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/fedora-35/multiple-versions-of-packages-installed-160259/#post829725
 seems to be the same question.  Hope this helps!
