Another tidbit -- now that grep is a directory, not a normal executable,
rpm -e grep fails with "Operation not permitted"

Incidentally, the files in directory /usr/bin/grep are
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root       254520 Aug 16  1995 dvipsk.dvi
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root       227740 Aug 16  1995 kpathsea.dvi
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root       734156 Mar 11  1996 texinfo.dvi

Oddly enough, rpm says none of these files are owned by any package.
Strange, since I haven't installed anything but Colgate.
