First, you might see if rpm really did install fam. (I know that if a
pre-uninstall-script fails during package removal, rpm will leave the
package installed, even if it uninstalled packages the installed package
depends on; no idea what state it leaves things in if a post-install script
fails.)
If it really didn't install fam, try running the rpm command again, but with
the --noscripts argument. This should keep the fam rpm from trying to
restart inetd.
Then you'll probably have to edit xinetd.conf yourself. (Nuts!) I don't
know what xinetd.conf looks like; can you post a few lines from your existing
xinetd.conf file, and we'll see if we can guess what delightful new syntax it
uses?
Then I would say you'll need to tell inetd (or whatever equivalent RedHat 7
uses) to reread its configuration file, but my ability to guess how to do
that is inversely proportional to the extent to which they changed it. (Did
the RedHat guys mention *why* they changed it?)
